Please try below code. 
public class ControllerLeadConvertView {
  public Id leadId;
    public String convertedAccountId ;
    public ControllerLeadConvertView(ApexPages.StandardController stdController){
        leadId = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('id');
    }
    public PageReference convertLead()
	{
		try
		{
			Lead leadobj = new Lead();
			
			List<Lead> lstLead = [select id,MobilePhone,Company from lead where id =:leadId limit 1];
			if( lstLead.size() > 0 )
			{
				leadobj = lstLead[0];
			}
			Account a = new Account();
			a.Name =leadobj.Company;  
			insert a;
			PageReference newocp= new PageReference('/'+ a.Id);
			newocp.setRedirect(true);
			return newocp;
		}

Hi 

At the moment when I am trying to replicate the issue then this code is working fine but this error occurs when we get more than one record and we are trying to store that in a instance of an related object rather than list of that object.
Thanks
