I've been doing this successfully for years. This one won't open, I can open it using Disc Utility, Open Disc Image, it asks for the password and then I can Show in Finder. So it isn't a disaster but is rather a pain. It's a huge file so duplicating it would be a gigantic pain in the butt! The community won't allow me to enter Monterey 12.6 which what I'm actually using.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

"Made an encrypted folder: Bizarre! over 30 years with Apple and no complaints but lately it's one **** thing after another. In this case I created a new ecncrypted file, went through the crap loading the folder with the old files and it works just fine!"

"Made an encrypted folder: When trying to open it in the traditional way, double clicking on it, Finder asks for password but nothing opens."

If a Decrypted Item Won't Show:
A. Start with a Restart:
Restart your Mac, seeing if it show up after the restart.
B. Refresh Finder.
See if refreshing Finder does the trick. The screen might show it.
C. Remove a Connected Display.
If you have a connected display, then it might be showing on that display while it is off. So, disconnect it.
