Hi,
You should always suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on any drive when making significant changes to your computer such as upgrading or modifying your operating system.
You could try to use manage-bde command with BitLocker Recovery Key to unlock it.
Step 1: Open Start menu, type: CMD, then click Run as administrator.
Step 2: On the command prompt, type the following command to unlock your BitLocker drive with 48-digit recovery key: manage-bde -unlock D: -RecoveryPassword [YOUR-BITLOCKER-RECOVERY-KEY]
If you can remember your BitLocker password, type the command: manage-bde -unlock D: -Password. After pressing Enter, you'll be prompted to enter the user password.
