Since 2013, I've Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium, but I thought to convert my CS6 to CC, so I can have all my files and work on it from my laptop and my PC. I'm hesitating to convert my CS6 license to CC and being stuck with a subscription. I don't really want to pay again for a license who'll last a month or so instead of my license that I've and I just needed to buy it one time without subscription. Also, I'm afraid that if I convert it, I'll loose my CS6 license and I don't really want to if it means that I'll be stuck with a subscription.

CS6 allows installing & activating on 2 computers (only use 1 at a time) so why can't you do what you want now?
Cloud Plans https://creative.adobe.com/plans are ONLY by subscription, not by one time payment
SOME programs are available Monthly https://community.adobe.com/t5/Get-Started/Being-charged-for-a-full-year-when-i-m-on-month-to-month/... - links and pictures

If you install any part of the Cloud, even a trial, your CS6 will stop working when you stop using the cloud program(s)
As soon as you install any part of the Cloud, even a trial, it replaces your program management system
-if you plan to keep using a serial number program you should NOT install a Cloud program, not even a trial
-Read Cloud takes over https://community.adobe.com/t5/Get-Started/Get-off-the-cloud/td-p/8075485 for some ideas

You can't convert CS6 to anything. It's discontinued.
Creative Cloud is enitrely separate. When you stop paying for it, your access to CC software & services stops working. But CC has no direct impact on your old software.

CC is not available outside of the subscription. If you decide taking CC you will need to take a subscription. There is no "upgrade" path available. CC will be a new license. You don't convert your CS6 license to CC, you will keep eternally your CS6 license, but there are still consequences, if you install CC:
There are also consequences to stay with CS6:
