Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!
If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Myhouse.pk3 requires doom2.wad to run. That is not present in your screenshot of the folder listing.

As an alternative you can try FreeDoom.

The prompt tells you exactly what the issue is: Is Doom2.wad installed and available?
Like others have said, it isn't seen in your screenshot as you load gzdoom.exe - myhouse.pk3 - myhouse.wad.
