Cluster file server resource 'FileServer-(ABCSSQL)(Cluster Disk 1)' cannot be brought online. The resource failed to create file share 'Output' associated with network name 'ABCSQL'. The error code was '3'. Verify that the folders exist and are accessible. Additionally, confirm the state of the Server service on this cluster node using Server Manager and look for other related events on this cluster node. It may be necessary to restart the network name resource 'ABCSSQL' in this clustered service or application.

The server did a shutdown, restart so you'd need to check the logs on why that happened - there could be something in the cluster log so you may want to generate the log to look through that. The last error is exactly what it is saying - the file share resource couldn't be brought online. So you need to check the resources and check however this file server share is setup, if the dependencies and possible owners are correct.
