I moved EFI to a flash drive to encrypt the whole disk, but I get an error, what do I do?

Please elaborate in more detail the initial system condition, what exactly you did and what you tried to achieve.
Additionally, you should never need to copy EFI (partition?) to anywhere.

My motherboard only works in UEFI mode, so I can't encrypt the whole disk because of the EFI partition, so I decided to move the EFI to a flash drive to encrypt the whole disk
