Hello,
Can you confirm if you have followed the steps on how to connect to your server via SSH with putty here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/connect-with-ssh/putty/
If you have followed the steps but you are still getting the error, check your permissions and ensure that the ~/.ssh folder is set to 0700 and the authorized_key file in that folder is set to 0600 on your droplet.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
