Why is my ubuntu virtual machine freezing right before sign up?

Question

I have a virtual machine in VMware12 I recently upgraded from ubuntu 16.04 to the latest Ubuntu LTS version. But it's freezing in startup.

See picture, I have really important work in this virtual machine, that I need to continue working on.

Is there a way to fix this issue?
