You may have uninstalled something vital which depended on virtualbox.
If you can access the filesystem of the broken install, you can find
out what your last apt commands did by looking at the log:
/var/log/apt/history.log

It may be possible to repair the damage by reinstalling those
packages, but it may be difficult if you can't boot into that install.
Do try Miles' suggestion -- see if you can get a text terminal, and if
you can, try reinstalling whatever you uninstalled.
