Skip to the end to see the class select prompting There is a long period of a blank screen in the video, this is merely to prove that the error is real and will not return you to the title screen, orbit, or character select.
A rare error that occurred after the June update.
As seen on the video, I am stuck in a blank screen until I go to character select, when I do I see the create a class prompt and I back out.
I recorded it because it was the first time I experienced something like this.
Please fix Bungie!

That's because the game now thinks you have no characters, which makes sense since your progress wasn't downloaded, and if you proceed into the character selection IN ANY WAY, your character will be overwritten with the new one (If you did the creation fully) or outright deleted (If you chose a Class and backed out at any point before the former) once the game catches up. The game would probably recognize it as a manual character deletion too, which Bungie doesn't offer recovery services for. There's no proof of it deleting your characters yet or not, so it's just conjecture.
