Resolution

VMware Engineering Team is aware of the issue and working to identify the cause of the issue. Please collect ESXi log bundle and file a Support request if you experience the issue. 

As a workaround, you could Power Cycle the VM and also consider disabling the "Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS" option for the VM (Edit Settings).
