Commonly if this error happens, I restarting my winnat with commands:

$ net stop winnat

// build your project

$ net start winnat

If that doesnt help. I restart whole docker with commands:

wsl --unregister docker-desktop
wsl --unregister docker-desktop-data

Then docker offers to restart docker-service.

Generally speaking, you need to stop running the current container. For that you are going to know current CONTAINER ID:

$ docker container ls

You get something like:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES
97a32e8928ef        friendlyhello       "python app.py"     51 seconds ago      Up 50 seconds       0.0.0.0:4000->80/tcp   romantic_tesla

Then you stop the container by:

$ docker stop 97a32e8928ef

Finally, you try to do what you wanted to do, for example:

$ docker run -p 4000:80 friendlyhello
