Crash report should not be posted in the forum. Instead upload it to Pastebin and provide a link. Not knowing the specifics of what has been happening to you in a practical sense I can only assume that you are having a problem running CS6 with Mojave. That would probably be because CS6 is not supported for Mojave. If you have managed to keep CS6 going up to now but have recently run one of Mojave's updates then whatever problems you're having most likely are the result of that.

You can try deleting your InDesign preferences to see if resetting the program to its defaults helps but other than that you will need to either use a Mac with an older operating system (Yosemite or earlier) or get a subscription to Creative Cloud and install the latest version of InDesign.

To delete preferences on a Mac:

The User Library folder in which InDesign’s preferences are stored is hidden by default on most Macintoshes. To access it make sure that InDesign is closed and click on the desktop to launch a Finder Window (Command-N). With this window in column view follow the path User>Home folder (it’s the folder with an icon that looks like a house—it may have the user’s name rather than “Home”) and click on the Home folder. With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. “Library” will now appear within the Home folder. Within the Library folder find the folder called Preferences and within it find the folder called “Adobe InDesign” and the file called “com.adobe.InDesign.plist” and delete both that folder and that file. When InDesign is next launched it will create new preference files and the program will be restored to its defaults.

The advantage of manually deleting preference files in this manner is that after you’ve reset up the program (make sure that no document window is open) to your liking, you can create copies of your personalized “mint” preference files (make sure that you quit the program before copying them—that finalizes your customization) and use them in the future to replace any corrupt versions you may need to delete.
