If the automatic check fails, you have to run it manually. I'm surprised
it didn't tell you that, usually it does (at least it always has for
me). Press RETURN to get your shell, then type:

# fsck -y

leave out the -y if you want to play it safe and not automatically
repair problems. You may also need to give the full path, /sbin/fsck
