You probably moved the photos to a different folder or location on your computer. You can tell lightroom to find the photo in its new location and itcwill relink.

Right click on question mark folder/image. Pop up will say to find photos. Browse to location of photos. Select location.

It is best to perform your file maintenance (moving, creating folders, renaming, etc.) inside Lightroom. If you use File Explorer, Lightroom gets upset as you have discovered. It was hard for me to break the File Explorer habit but I'm glad I did. My relationship with LR has improved ever since.
