Have you looked at a typical buck-converter circuit and understand how they work?
They have a free-wheel diode (usually a Schottky type) from the output of the MOSFET (cathode) to ground.
This carries the inductor current when the MOSFET is off.

Sorry, I should have removed it accidentaly. I add new analysis results with diode as reply on post.

If you attach your spice file we could fix it.
P-MOSFET is installed wrong.
Gate drive is wrong.
Missing diode.

I attached analysis with diode and file.

M1 source and drain are still backward.

And for a 50V input, the MOSFET gate drive also has to go to 50V, which that comparator can't provide.

So should I increase the comparators supply , or is there any solutions for it ?

V1. Started at 50V. I changed it to start at 0 and take 100nS to reach 50V. Things were blowing up at startup.
S1. The mosfet was backwards. The gate drive was very wrong. So I just put in a switch that can be driven from 0/5V.
Added diode.
OP-amp was fast while the comparator was slow.
C2 to slow down the amp.
Removed the -5V supply.

Give this a try. Good Luck ronS
