Please do not post crash reports here. Post them on pastebin.com and provide a link.

That out of the way there are numerous other posts on this topic. There is a beta version of InDesign available that runs natively on M1 processors. You'll find it under beta apps in your CC Desktop App.

You need to try the InDesign Beta for M1 computers:
