Resizing image is making my photos lose quality, never happened before.

I edit photos for use on website and print. I usually resize my images to 1800 x 1800 for website, and the images have always come out sharp and clear. Randomly this afternoon I resized these images and they come out terrible quality. I have no idea why they are doing this, as I hadn't changed any settings. I have attempted unchecking resample and also changing resample through all the options. My settings are currently RGB and 8bit. Restarted my computer and I also just restarted Photoshop since I saw there was an update, but it didn't help. Is there something else I need to check? I haven't had this issue before today.

The image looks fine to me; could you point out what the problem is in the 100% view?

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% of the image before and after resampling with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

When downsizing images you must turn on Resample option in Image Size dialogue. If you are experimenting with PPI or Resolution in Image Size it is irrelevant for web images, just ignore it, concentrate on Width and Height in Pixels.

Downsizing images should not result in blurry image or pixels. Does loss of quality happens with all images or only with some of them? What is used to preview result, at which viewing percent? In Photoshop press Ctrl + 1 then judge quality. Can you post a few samples or to capture short video.

It's been happening to all the photos I've edited since yesterday. I posted the 100% viewing screenshots in another reply on this thread. These are the settings I have.
