Jim has you pointed in the correct direction.

 

Maybe a first thing to check is to expand the Destination panel and verify the the files are going where you want them to go.

 

Also, if you just upgraded to Catalina, there is a new "privacy and security" app that may need some settings corrected for LR.

    Use your operating system tools to examine the permissions for the folder to which you are trying to import the images and make sure that that folder has both read and write permissions. If it doesn't then change the permissions appropriately.
