Hi Christopher,
The error is because of settings of the SharePoint site are missing.
There are multiple solutions to resolve this error.
Solution 1: settings of Sharepoint site
1) Go to folder of the SharePoint site in IIS
2) Go to web.config, In the custom Errors tag set mode=off
3) In the safe Mode tag, set Call Stack='true'
4) Refresh the site after the settings are done

Solution 2: Manually upgrade the My site collection
1) Log into the system as global admin account
2) Go to SharePoint admin center, Click 'Admin', Click 'SharePoint'
3) Check the box next to the URL for My Site collection
4) Click 'Upgrade', Click 'Site collection upgrade settings'
5) Go to the site collection upgrade settings dialog Click 'Link to upgrade page'
6) Click the link to 'Review Site Collection upgrade status' and upgrade the site
