Parallels has stated that 13 is not compatible with Catalina and considering
it is two versions behind the current Parallels 15, I am not surprised.
Parallels has been notorious in the past for needing upgrades for
each version upgrade of macOS.

Maybe ask Parallels why.
Maybe you have not installed it correctly.
Maybe you have not allocated enough memory to the VM.
Maybe you are running a very resource intensive system in the VM.
You have not provided any details or context that could help us to help you.
I used one stack(Parallels 13 + Windows 10) during 2 years on the same MB Pro.
"Maybe ask Parallels why"
I have no problems before with High Sierra, Mojave. I was very happy to work on MB Pro. Until that day when I installed updates Catalina. Guys it was oweful update I never faced before. It stacked my business. Also I had seeing a bug with progress bar few weeks, that you fixed in the last updates. Your updates last time very not stable. It looks like Alpha version with a lot of bugs. I chosen Mac because it was very fast and stable previously. Now I have 2 ways: downgrade my Pro to Mojave or buy Windows laptop. For me easier to buy new laptop. Unfortunately I bought Air two weeks ago for my wife as gift and completely forbid her install any updates. I lose a trust to Apple.
"Maybe you have not installed it correctly." Any changes until that "Catalina updates" day. I started Parallels, Windows and was very mad that I not able to work on my MB.
"Maybe you have not allocated enough memory to the VM." Any changes just Catalina update
"Maybe you are running a very resource intensive system in the VM." As usual the same image with the same resources.
Parallels Desktop 15 is optimized for Catalina, 13 isn't.
