I just had this happen too, after following an old tutorial about setting up Fortran in VS Code.

Turns out there are two python packages that provide a fortls executable.

You probably have the plain fortls package installed which, as you can see, has been updated much more recently than fortran-language-server. If you're using the Modern Fortran extension, you'll want fortls and to disable the Fortran IntelliSense package. If you don't, the Modern Fortran extension will give you an error.
