Cones are loose. Just need nipping up but can be tricky if you don’t have the tools or do this sort of thing normally. It’s a quick and simple job though that any bike shop can do if don’t want to do yourself.
You can ride it as is but it will wear out faster if you leave it.

Remove the QR and see if the qr is worn. Or a thinner qr than needed is fitted.
Check to see if the inner hub shaft is broken.

Was fettling my partner’s bike when I realised that the rear wheel had some side to side play while in dropouts. Realised that there is play between the skewer and the wheel hub (I can push the skewer up and down when inserted, as shown by the not very obvious picture) - is this common or is the hub knackered?
