First, try cleaning the disc and the console's disc tray. If it's still not working, a hard reset might help: hold the power button for 10 seconds to shut down the console, then unplug it for a couple of minutes before turning it back on.

I've had luck with the 'power cycle' method. Completely power down your Xbox One by holding the power button for 10 seconds, cleaning any dust off the disc, and then restarting the console. Worked for me every time!
