What is the “veil of the screen”?

Numbers 4:5 (ESV)

5 When the camp is to set out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the veil of the screen and cover the ark of the testimony with it.

It is the curtain that separated the Most Holy Place (wherein the ark of the covenant was held) from the Holy Place (see Exodus 26:31–33).
