Random kernal panics in Catalina

My laptop is randomly freezing and I get a spinning wheel which then forces my mac to abruptly shut down. When I turn back on the mac I get kernel panic errors. When I ran a diagnosis I got a reference code of VDH002.

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7fb0440a8d): watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 98 seconds (126 total checkins since monitoring last enabled)
