We would be better able to help you if you told us more specifically
what it was you were trying to accomplish when you ran the command.

dh is debhelper, which is a tool that aids in building debian
packages. As far as I'm aware, it's not something that you'd just run
with no arguments (it has a lot of different subcommands and options
for them). The error message states that debian/control file is
missing. Are you in the right directory? (eg the one with the package
you're trying to work on).

I can't help but wonder if maybe you meant a different command
entirely, such as df or du.
