When I started my laptop I found this message:

"Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in,type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into default mode."

I have tried commands Ctrl+D or systemctl default but nothing happens. Here is what my screen looks like:

How can I solve this problem?

I checked my sda3, sda4 and sda6 drive the SMART data and showed the error. What else can I do or get from Ubuntu Live to home partitions to my files? Can I log in from the terminal to the disk home and copy files to another disk?

That looks like a hard drive or disk controller hardware error - best case, loose cable; worst case dead drive. See How do I recover from a read DMA bootup error? – steeldriver Feb 16 '19 at 19:17
Drive sda6, sector 197398562, has a hard READ failure, and causing the drive to become not ready. Replace the HDD. – heynnema Feb 16 '19 at 21:40
