The pink text indicates a missing font. I don't think you moved your installation of Times Roman, though - you'd likely remember doing that, right? Barring advanced dementia or severe intoxication, of course. I think that it's a bug related to how Adobe Fonts works. When you look at your Fonts menu, does it say "Times Roman" in the dropdown? Or perhaps "[Times Roman (TT)]" or "[Times Roman (OTF)]"? If it's one of the latter two, it's likely related to how InDesign (and by extension Adobe Fonts) handles font caching. You can clear your font cache to see if that resolves the issue for you. I'd go a bit further than Adobe's instructions, as I've had a variety of Weird Font Problems over the last few years:
1) Log all the way out of Creative Cloud and shut all Adobe Programs
2) Restart the computer
3) Follow the linked font cache clearing instructions I linked to above
4) Restart the computer again
5) Log back into Creative Cloud, open up InDesign, and see if this resolved your font issues
Steps 2 + 4 seem like overkill, but I have found that they are not, at least on the Windows platform. Feels like a very 2006 solution to me, but I've found that it just doesn't work sometimes if I don't include the hard reboots in 2 and 4.
