The key part from the error is:
The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
WordPress docs on Main Stylesheet says:
In order for WordPress to recognize the set of theme template files as a valid theme, the style.css file needs to be located in the root directory of your theme, not a subdirectory.
I would suggest you to unzip the theme and look for style.css
. If the file is there open it; there should be some commented lines that will look similar to these:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Seventeen
Theme URI: https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/
Author: the WordPress team
Author URI: https://wordpress.org/
Description: Twenty Seventeen brings your site to life with immersive featured images and subtle animations. With a focus on business sites, it features multiple sections on the front page as well as widgets, navigation and social menus, a logo, and more. Personalize its asymmetrical grid with a custom color scheme and showcase your multimedia content with post formats. Our default theme for 2017 works great in many languages, for any abilities, and on any device.

The following fields should be in every main stylesheet: Theme Name
, Author
, Description
, Version
, License
, License URI
and Text Domain
.
If any of the mentioned fields are missing I strongly recommend contacting the theme provider.
If you’re the owner or the author of the theme make sure to include the mentioned lines and to include the style.css
file in the root directory of the theme before uploading the archived theme to your WordPress installation.
