I don't think the problem is in forwarding messages, looks like a problem accessing the Puppeteer instance.

Take a look at this PR, make sure you implement this fix and see if your problem will be solved. #2434

for me it worked:
whatsapp-web.js/src/structures/Message.js : 387
async forward(chat) {
const chatId = typeof chat === 'string' ? chat : chat.id._serialized;

        await this.client.pupPage.evaluate(async (msgId, chatId) => {
         let msg = window.Store.Msg.get(msgId);
         let chat = window.Store.Chat.get(chatId);
         window.Store.Chat.forwardMessagesToChats([msg],[chat]);
         
        }, this.id._serialized, chatId);
    }

         window.Store.Chat.forwardMessagesToChats([msg],[chat]);
         
        }, this.id._serialized, chatId);
    }

Media forwarding stopped working

UPD: Adding one second delay for sending photos solved the problem, apparently Whatsapp does not have time to process photos (With other types of files everything works without delay)

         window.Store.Chat.forwardMessagesToChats([msg],[chat]);
         
        }, this.id._serialized, chatId);
    }

however, when I try to forward it through the GroupChat.lastMessage attribute, the same error returns 😥😔

         window.Store.Chat.forwardMessagesToChats([msg],[chat]);
         
        }, this.id._serialized, chatId);
    }

this works for me! the only part i needed to change was window.Store.Chat.forwardMessagesToChats([msg],[chat]);
