Can you let us know, what you are converting, the OS, Windows or Linux ?

Physical or virtual ?

What version of VMware Converter ?

It's stating that your destination device does not support UEFI BOOT.
How to resolve this is this mean that I need to disable bios?
Yes
So your  VM may need also UEFI, and your hosts may also need to support UEFI.

Also there have been issues with hosts in EVC mode.
How to enable in my vm
Thanks

You mean to disable on the desktop side ?
The VM must have UEFI options, and you may want to check your Hosts, support UEFI, and disable EVC which can cause an issue.
Thanks

I converting from the desktop to vm machines using VMware converter, how to achieve this.

How to enable Uefi option in vsphere client ?
Right Click the VM, Edit Settings, and enable UEFI BIOS option.
Do you have quick documentation or url link?
