This is more a "debian" question than an "nginx" question, but my best
guess is:

Wherever your list of sources is configured (possibly
/etc/apt/sources.list?) has the string "'lsb-release" (with a leading
single quote) where it should probably have the string "bullseye".

I wonder... did you follow the installation instructions at
http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Debian? If so, perhaps there
was a typo when writing the line

    http://nginx.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \

and "'" was used instead of "`"?

(That's not exactly right, because of the _/- difference.)

If that is what happened, then: edit the file

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

as root and change the line that has 'lsb-release to end in

    /debian bullseye nginx

and then repeat the apt-get update.

Good luck with it,
