This is expected.

Pi-hole needs port 53 to run, but you have a service (called connmand) using the port:

[✗] udp:127.0.0.1%lo:53 is in use by connmand (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)
    (...)
[✗] udp:[::1]%lo:53 is in use by connmand (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)
    (...)
[✗] tcp:127.0.0.1%lo:53 is in use by connmand (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)
    (...)
[✗] tcp:[::1]%lo:53 is in use by connmand (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)

You need to disabled connmand.

After that, restart Pi-hole with:

sudo service pihole-FTL restart
