In MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, macOS Catalina, Version 10.15.7), I see an icon on the righthand side of the menu bar. Clicking on it showed the pinwheel for a long time. Eventually it went away, but the system was sluggish. And I had to Force Quit the system to restart.

The icon I am talking about is the one on the bottom right in the image below.

What does this icon mean?

There is no one list of menu bar icons, as any app could potentially have one. Your best bet is to click on each and work out what app it’s for.
