Looks like the date/time on your phone was messed up and you tried unlocking with an incorrect pin. Soft reset and the try unlocking, if not then a hard reset it your only option.

Sometimes this is a glitch.

Often times it is from too many invalid PIN attempts.

Regardless, the solution is the same. Hard reset.

Power off > hold Volume Down > tap Power > keep holding Volume Down until you see the exclamation (!) screen, then immediately release the Volume Down

Now tap Volume Up / Volume Down / Power / Volume Down

You should see the spinning gears and your phone will reflash the last OS version held in recovery. You do loose data, but get your phone back. Sign into your Microsoft Account and restore your backup during the set up.
