Open the file as super-user:

sudo nano -c /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list

and make sure you are on line 1(you can see the line number in the terminal like this. Then, add the # at the beginning of line 1. When that is done, press Ctrl+X. At the prompt, press y and then Enter

Then run sudo apt-get update.

Just note that:

By commenting/removing the erroneous line the software won't be installed (if not already) or won't be updated/upgraded if that's what you try. Of which I suggest you to check where is that line coming from (which software requires it) and do the proper modifications as required in order to everything run fine.
