I'm editing my video for a project. And suddenly a window pops out up and say "Final Cut Pro Trial cannot save changes to “Untitled.” The storage location for one or more libraries is no longer available. The libraries will be closed so that no work is lost." Even though I've tried to re-opened it again, but it still pops up that message (I saved my library in a HDD hard drive.

Double check that your external HD shows in finder under locations. Maybe eject it and try plugging it back in. If that doesn't work, close Final Cut Pro completely, and reopen it.
If that doesn't work, you may want to run first aid on your external HD.

As Luis (and Apple) say, don't use ExFAT for FCP libraries.

Copy the library to another drive formatted as APFS or MacOS Extended.

You should not use ExFAT formatted drives for FCP libraries.
This is probably the source of your problem.
Always use APFS or MacOS Extended drives with FCP.
Also, make sure that FCP has Full Disk Access in System Settings->Privacy & Security
Q1: Is the trial period within 90 days?
Q2: What is the format of the external HDD?
Q3: Is it only the library that I moved to the external HDD that doesn't open?
