All of my 6 wireless cameras stopped charging all at once which is very odd. They charge and turn on when they plugged in to the charger but as soon as I take them off charge they turn off. It’s very wired that it’s happed to all of my cameras at once

Could be the charger. The Pro can be powered with normal 5v USB, but I believe it needs a charger that supports quickcharge to actually charge the battery.

Have you tried another (original) charger and another (original) cable after you first ran into this problem? Might be worth trying another outlet while you are at it.
Also, is the app showing the battery as fully charged right before you remove the cable?

I leave it on charge over night and it just shows charging (lightning bolt) then I unplug it
Are you also checking that the charge level is 100%?

Prob unlikely ALL the batteries went bad at the same time...
First check out the adapter... If a Pro camera ( didn't see if you mentioned which cameras other than title ) you need a 5v/9v qualcomm type charger as a normal 5v adapter will never charge the battery pack. After cameras will work with 5v.
You state it is the original adapter / cable , so follow the direction in the link.
You NEED to attempt to charge 6x in a short period not just overnight ( think it was every ten mins ). This allows a minimum charge in the battery packs so it can start proper charging ( it will not charge if to low )( Even if you see a lighting bolt. )

I really believe it more likely the issue will be the adapter or cable is bad .
But it doesn't hurt to try another type adapter an cable BTW. It may just not work but will not hurt anything.

It doesn’t show any numbers it just shows charging symbol
Touch the settings wheel for the camera in the app, that will show you the % charge.

I do do that and all it shows is charging icon . It used to show percentage when I press settings icon
Odd, as I do see the charge percentage with my own Pro camera (both in the app, and my.arlo.com). Though there are some issues with my.arlo.com (showing stale status, including battery percentage).
I think a risk-buy of a replacement charger (with cable) might be a good next step (under the theory that 6 batteries would not all fail at the same time). Although this is advertised as a "cable", it includes the charger.
That is less expensive than a risk-buy of a replacement battery:
