post the contents of /home/website/public_html/mywebsite.com/wp-admin/includes/file.php enclosed in php code like this

<?php content

When this start occurs? Have you installed any incompatible plugins?

 

[Gogol]

Issue with file permissions (your theme wants to write something and it can’t). Are you trying to host it yourself? Try chmoding the project folder to 644.

Which php version?

Reinstall the WP core and this should be fixed, the file is either modified or deleted and hence this error. You can install WP Core using wp-cli if you have access to the terminal in cPanel or you can use WP Kit

I've tried this and didn't work

When this start occurs? Have you installed any incompatible plugins?

Nope, my host migrated my sites to another server, and while other site worked fine, this particular site is showing blank white screen

Issue with file permissions (your theme wants to write something and it can’t). Are you trying to host it yourself? Try chmoding the project folder to 644.

Nope, server migration. My bad, I don't have the technical knowledge to chmode the project folder

Which php version?

Not sure, but should be 7.4 or more, and my PHP setting is now 8.0 as some of my sites not working in PHP setting lesser than 7.4

Reinstall the WP core and this should be fixed, the file is either modified or deleted and hence this error. You can install WP Core using wp-cli if you have access to the terminal in cPanel or you can use WP Kit

Can you help with the default wp admin/ includes/file.php so I can paste it and save. Would this work?

Tried what? I asked you to post the content of file.php here. Did you replace the content of file.php with just "<?php content" ?

It is a core file of wp. Don't touch it.
https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/includes/file.phpThe problem like I said is with folder permission. If you don't know how to do chmod, ask your provider. It's a 5 second job for them. Your cpanel should let you do the same as well (try opening the file browser and right clicking on the project folder at /home/website/public_html. It is named mywebsite.com according to your original post).
