Welcome to the forum.

Can you post a link to the problem image?

Have you used the camera where lasers may have been in use, like an event?

If there was laser damage to the sensor (and it looks like that is what happened) the only fix is sensor replacement.

Your sensor is toast and needs to be replaced. What you can do with the already taken pictures is to use RawTherapee to remove the bad pixels. Lines like that should be easy to add in a bad pixel list if you have raw files. Five minutes of work, see https://kameratrollet.se/use-rawtherapee-to-deal-with-laser-damaged-camera-sensors/

Sensors are easily damaged by lasers and this requires particular caution with mirrorless cameras (and their camcorder ancestor) because the sensor is exposed to potential damage whenever the camera is active unlike a DSLR where the sensor is only exposed during the brief time the image is captured.  Note also that laser technology is also used in security systems which allows the installer to provide a tightly defined trigger/protection field and these will also damage an image sensor.

Once damaged, the sensor cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
