That means LrC can't find the images on the drive and or in the folders they were in when they were Imported into that catalog file.

That happens if you move them from one drive and or folder to another drive and or folder Outside of LrC with the File Manager for the OS you are using Or if the drive they are on, and External Drive, is not connected and or the Drive Letter or Name (for MacOS) has changed.

Please Note that there are NO Image Files In the LrC Catalog file. That file is a Database file that only holds a Record, A Reference, to where the images are stored on your computers hard drives.

Your old catalogs are still intact and sitting on your hard disk somewhere. Try reverting to Lightroom Classic 9.4 and see if those catalogs will open correctly. If they do open correctly, this rules that the catalogs were already corrupted before you upgraded them.
