You are very likely trying to draw on an invisible layer.
Step by step:
1. View > Layer List
2. Move your mouse cursor to the location where layer "Holes_Wires" is shown on the name of the layer: 3. Click the left mouse button. The layer should now be highlighted with a blue background as shown here: This means that layer "Holes_Wires" is now the active layer. That is the layer you are drawing on and the layer that must be visible and unlocked. In your drawing that is the case.
Since all other layers in your drawing are invisible, this is probably the layer you want to place the circles on and I'd recommend to try that before trying anything else since that is the easiest way and does not involve changing any layers.
If the above layer list looks any different on your end, please post a screenshot (there are various preferences involved and you might have set up things differently on your end).
About the error message: QCAD deliberately prevents you from drawing "blind" on invisible layers since this would mean you'd get something you didn't see rather then the usual what you see is what you get.
