When I have seen this before I was running extremely low on disk space which resulted in me running out of swap space. How full are your disks?

Also what does Activity Monitor say about memory? What does the Memory Pressure graph look like? What does it say for: Physical Memory, Memory Used, Cached Files, Swap Used, App Memory, Wired Memory etc?

How long was it running before you got that?

last 2-3 days.
You might want to help us out a tad by telling us the specs off your iMac.

It's iMac retina 4K, 3 GHz intel core, 16 MB 2400 MHz, 21.5 inch monitor

According to my Activity monitor, it shows only 6.91 GB of memory is used out of my 16GB physical memory, 1.18GB cached files and 1.30GB Swap used
4.19 GB App memory used and 2.61 Wired memory

You didn't answer probably the most important first question and that is disk space.

Shut down, then reboot.
Simply doing that can clear up all sorts of "problems"...!
