Easy enough to run the First Aid and see if that sorts you issue—
Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities> Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur/Monterey/Ventura) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.
Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —
Volume level
Container level
Parent drive
