You are probably running chkdsk on your USB stick instead of the drive in question.
Well I don't think so, because I clearly specify chkdsk C: /f (C: in this case)

Your SSD could have been broken triggered by the large write load when moving the partition. Some SSD react by refusing to write while still being readable.

This would be very bad. Do you mean only the broken sectors? Because I just installed a Linux system on it on 2 new partitions and it works perfectly

A quick health check helps to decide if one should duplicate a broken drive to exclude the possibility of recovery slowdowns by broken sectors.
Despite having installed your new linux configuration you could run ddrescue on your drive and duplicate it into the null device. When using a logfile with ddrescue you finally get a list of broken areas if there are any.
