Hello,
The Word error you described appears to be a different issue from the original question regarding folder permissions.
To keep this thread focused and to ensure you receive the most appropriate assistance, I recommend creating a new question dedicated to the Microsoft Word issue.
In the new post, please include the full error message, your Office version, and any troubleshooting steps you have already tried.
Thank you for your understanding.

I join Darren in suggesting that you post this separately, as it appears to be a separate issue. One (main) question per thread is a good rule of thumb.

Dear christopher horgli,
Based on your description, if the parent folder has been shared using an Anyone with the link permission, users who access the parent folder through that link may still be able to browse content within it, including subfolders.
To help narrow this down, could you confirm:
In the meantime, if the parent folder is shared using an Anyone with the link sharing link, restricting a child folder may not produce the expected result. While unique permissions can be configured on the subfolder, access may still be influenced by sharing links granted at the parent level.
If the subfolder must remain private, the recommended approach is to move the restricted content to a separate folder, document library, or site that is not exposed through the parent folder's anonymous sharing link.
I hope it meets your expectations, if not, please provide some more information as my previous questions so I can support you more effectively.
