Check that Lightroom Classic still has full disk access. A MacOS update can sometimes reset this.

hi very kind but switching the toogles on, is worst . Full disk was off, but now is on, and lightroom can't open the Catalog. the rainbow wheel keep spinning.

Full Disk Access is absolutely mandatory. Reboot your computer if you did not do that already. If Lightroom Classic still can't open your catalog, then there must be another reason for that. First try resetting the preferences: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/ If that does not solve it, then try if Lightroom works with a new catalog (hold down the Cmd key while starting Lightroom).
