Additional Information

The documentation states: 'When applying selections, a selection of zero records is possible. For example, selecting a field value that is not present, results in a selection of zero records. A geoprocessing tool using the layer as input will use no records from the input'. Refer to https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/select-layer-by-attribute.htm for more information.

Workaround

Navigate to the Map tab, in the Selection group, click the Clear tool once to set the previous selection inactive. Then the Calculate Field tool finishes execution without any issues.
