Finally got the solution for my problem.

Here I am giving the steps that I have done:

1. Go to SharePoint Management Shell( ISE ) (Run as administrator) and run the Below powershell command:

   Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell
   $hostConfig = Get-SPServiceHostconfig
   $hostConfig.Provision()
   $SPservice = Get-SPServiceApplication |?{$_.name -eq 'SecurityTokenServiceApplication'}
   $SPservice.Provision();
   
   Import-Module WebAdministration
   Stop-Website 'SharePoint Web Services'
   
   Start-Website 'SharePoint Web Services'
   

Answer 2

You can try to change the web service url of SharePoint webservices to 16 hive, in my case it point to 15 hive folder. https://abdulazizfarooqi.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/sharepoint-2016-http-500-internal-server-error-while-trying-to-browse-to-a-sharepoint-site-using-claims-based/
