It's telling you that it's unable to read whatever is in the "CD/DVD" drive on that VM. You should verify if the iso image or physical device that is attached to it is functioning correctly.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

But I don’t have anything in the “CD / DVD”. I have now deleted the "CD / DVD" from the virtual machine. Errors have stopped yet

Well /dev/sr0 is your virtual optical drive inside the VM. It's trying to access it and getting errors so it presumably thinks there is media in it and that it's corrupt.
