Never seen that before, did you already tried a reboot?

It might be that the bash shell is updated and needs a reboot to load new libraries but that is just a guess.

Nothing is wrong.

1). ls

Your home is empty.

2). cd \

Command is using a \ instead of /. So it thinks you are continuing the command on another line.

3). cd \etc

Same issue as number 2 except that it thinks you are trying to escape the letter e...and it is concatenated to the prior command... cd cd \etc

I did not even spot that
