Quite possibly failed hardware, or failed network, or both.


See if Diagnostics show any errors:

Diagnostics can usually find hard errors, but can miss transient errors.


If you have access to another Mac that can run macOS 11 or whatever the problem Mac is running, try building a bootable installer on the working Mac, and transfer and try to boot and use that to boot the problem Mac:
