Either your graphics card is incompatible with Minecraft (usually too old or not good enough) or it's your graphics card driver.

You can try going to your system settings (assuming you're on Windows), to the "Device manager" and there should be your graphics card. If it says something like "standard VGA", your graphics card is probably not "good" enough to run Minecraft (or there is none at all). If it is something else, you can try to update its driver in the device's properties menu. If that doesn't help, your PC can't run Minecraft.

There are some really complicated modifications to run it with the CPU instead of the GPU, but they should only be done by experts and the game would be incredibly slow anyway.

More information on your problem and what you can do is here.
