Below are 3 steps you can try - most common way to fix.
If the first one doesn't work - then I'd try something else before trying the other 2 options.
Try IDML first.
Then if still not exporting - try export half the amount of pages and see if it exports
Then if that works - try exporting the other half
Whichever half it fails then it's something in that section
Keep halving your output pages until you find the page(s) with the issue(s).
First Thing to Try ------
If a document is not behaving well then try
File>Export
Choose IDML
Open the IDML in InDesign
Save the file as a new InDesign file with a new name
See if the issue persists.
If nothing else is working
------
Try resetting your preferences:
Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.
