In-Memory OLTP isn't supported on the General Purpose tier of Azure SQL Managed Instance. To continue migration, one way is to upgrade to Business Critical tier, which supports In-Memory OLTP. Another way is to make sure the source database isn't using it while the Azure SQL Managed Instance is General Purpose.
