I used Charmm force field but I tried it with all the other force fields as well to see if the problem could be solved which was useless. I searched the list and errors-gromacs in the website and found that the simplest way is to change the name of this residue. As I am not familiar with protein structure, I do not know what changes may be helpful to pass this error. also, it is said that one way is to parameterize the residue which I do not know how to do that. Your help would be highly appreciated.Thanks!

If "BGC" is a synonym for beta-D-glucose, that is called BGLC in CHARMM, 
so you just need to rename the residue accordingly. If it is some other 
unknown species, then yes, you need to parametrize it yourself.
