Then I installed mysql workbench onto the computer in my office that is running cloudron
Nothing should be installed alongside Cloudron.
Cloudron can be viewed as a Server Distribution like Ubuntu itself. You would not install CentOS next to Ubuntu.
This should only be done if you know 100 % what you are doing. And since you wrote you followed ChatGPT, I assume you lack that knowledge
Let's take this as a learning.
Before following ChatGPT, who only has a vague Idea of Cloudron, come here, the Forum
You can ask almost anything here and people are happy to help.
Adding to that, other people will learn from your questions as well! Win-Win for everyone!
What you should do now?

But I agree with @timconsidine, his advice is safe and sound and will prevent some headaches for you
