In System Preferences, >Security & Privacy, >Full Disk Access, do you see Lightroom listed? If not, do add it and try again.

It is indeed listed in the Full Disk Access Folder

This happens with any document you try to export? 

First try resetting preferences, might fix the issue. 

Quit Lightroom Classic.
MacOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes". 

If that doesn't work, next few areas to look into:

Try logging into another account (you may need to make one), can you now save? 
Try starting up in Safe mode (hold down Shift Key when booting), can you now save? 
You might want to try running a free utility like Onyx:
