It means one of two things:

1) Someone is online using your nickname, or

2) you might've been disconnected temporarily but the connection has X
seconds to respond to ping before it is disconnected.

In either scenario, you can recover your nickname on freenode using
NickServ's REGAIN command. From any nickname, you can do: **/msg
NickServ REGAIN <nickname> <password>**. If someone is online using
your nickname, they will be disconnected immediately and you will
automatically switch to that nickname.

I recommend looking at services enforcers to prevent others from using
your nickname despite it being registered. See **/msg NickServ HELP
SET ENFORCE** for more information.
