The issue is that virtual device is in Saved state. You need to turn it off to state Powered Off.

You need to start VirtualBox.app and power off the device.

In the screenshot below Tablet device would not start Oracle VM VirtualBox with several Android virtual devices

So you need to Start the device which is in Saved state and then power it off (by closing window) like this: <code>Power off</code> Android virtual device in VirtualBox
