I already mentioned kernel modules and dkms, so I would expect that you
did some research and would have checked
dkms status; uname -r
and then tried to build the virtualbox modules for the currently
running kernel, first by
sudo dkms autoinstall
and then by running
sudo dkms install vboxhost/$(echo $(dpkg -l virtualbox-5.1|grep ii)|cut -d" " -f3|cut -d- -f1)
without the "$(echo $(dpkg -l virtualbox-5.1|grep ii)|cut -d" " -f3|cut
-d- -f1)", I would expect you to replace it by the version in plain
text.
Likely you got a message that dkms.conf does not exist.
You perhaps then used a search engine and found this information
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html
and tried running
sudo rcvboxdrv setup
If not, then try running
sudo rcvboxdrv setup
now and after that try running
sudo vboxreload
or
sudo modprobe -rv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxpci vboxdrv
sudo modprobe -av vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxpci
or
restart the computer.

Please, if we want to help you, we need to read your mails, don't make
them unnecessarily long by repeating issues or by blind guesses.
Instead please do what I ask you to do, always copy and past the
_complete_ commands and their complete output.
I'm quite sure you got more output, than you posted.
Regards,
Ralf
