const inputValue = document.querySelector("#linkName").value;
const = document.getElementById('link').textContent;

Remember that with the assignment operator the left side receives the value and the right side gives the value. You want to assign a value to document.getElementById('link').textContent
so that part needs to be on the left. The right side will be the value you are assigning to it (which is stored in inputValue).
