My MacBook turns off

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and recently it randomly shuts down I don’t know why 🤷🏿‍♀️ my computer tells me that there was a problem and I’m trying to figure out what was the problem. I would close it and then I will open it back up and go to a different application and then it will shut down . Should I be concerned?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0
