You are trying to use a windows-cmdlet on a linux container.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/restart-computer?view=powershell-7.5
This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform.

This have nothing to do with PowerShell-Docker.
If you using Docker Desktop switch to Windows Container or use the Windows Container Engine directly.

Restart-Computer (Microsoft.PowerShell.Management) - PowerShell

This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform. The Restart-Computer cmdlet restarts the operating system on the local and remote computers. You can use the parameters of Restart-Computer to run the restart operations, to specify the authentication levels and alternate credentials, to limit the operations that run at the same time, and to force an immediate restart. Starting in Windows PowerShell 3.0, you can wait for the restart to complete before you run the next command. Specify a waiting time-out and query interval, and wait for particular services to be available on the restarted computer. This feature makes it practical to use Restart-Computer in scripts and functions.
