Do a hard refresh ctrl + f5 (chrome), or the equivalent in your browser. — Buttered_Toast, Commented Aug 16, 2021 at 6:31

@Buttered_Toast, I haven't understood your last comment. It was working perfectly. Today, I updated WordPress and I notice that widgets, WPBakery, admin panel UI all are not displaying correctly — user9437856, Commented Aug 16, 2021 at 6:41
Revert back to the previous version to see if the problem goes away, if it does, try updating again to the new version. — Buttered_Toast, Commented Aug 16, 2021 at 6:42

The second line in your screenshot, the first Red line, is showing a typo in a Javascript file called common.min.js.

If you have a plugin that minifies your javascript (Typically a cache or optimisation plugin) on your site, try turning that off.

Failing that, try swapping to the default theme, then if you're still seeing the issue, turn off plugins one by one until the problem disappears.

When you have found the issue, contact the theme or plugin developers and report the issue. They will hopefully provide a fix.

But that's core WordPress isn't it? wp-admin/js/common.min.js.

It doesn't show the path, that filename could be used in any of the plugins or themes. Or, if it is core, a minifying tool is trashing the JS compile. REALLY unlikely there is a typo in core - we would all know about it.
