See if old directory /var/lib/gitlab/.node_modules is still present, if yes, that should be removed.

If that does not fix, backup yarn.lock and truncate -s0 yarn.lock to regenerate it.

Try manually running yarnpkg install (see /usr/lib/gitlab/scripts/rake-tasks.sh ) and webpack.

Another think you can do is to remove node_modules and let yarnpkg recreate it.
