This is really more of a Windows issue the a VMware issue per se and as such you need to do as suggested on the BSOD as applicable and also utilize Microsoft Resources and Google to try and resolve this issue.  You could also try restoring the system to an earlier system restore point however before doing anything make sure you have a proper* backup of the Virtual Machine Package before making any modifications.

==========

* It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring Virtual Machines under all circumstances/conditions.  Also backing up Virtual Machines via Time Machine is disk/time intensive and wastes a tremendous amount of space for something that may be corrupt and worthless come time to restore it.  At a minimum I would exclude Virtual Machines from Time Machine and with the Virtual Machines shutdown, not suspended, and VMware Fusion closed then manually copy the Virtual Machines Package(s) to an alternate location, preferably on to a different physical hard disk.  Then keep the User Data that is stored within the Virtual Machine backed up off of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis so as to always have a current User Data Backup.  If you have to restore a properly backed up Virtual Machine that is not as current at least you'll have a working Virtual Machine and current User Data to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine Backup of the Virtual Machine fails.

Thank you so much for trying to help me ^____^

I moved my files to Parallels desktop and now Windows works perfectly.
