Mine was the same today. I had upgraded from macOS 26.3 Beta to 26.3 (stable) a few days ago. This was my first re-start of the Emby server since the MacOs update. I had re-started the Mac Mini without shutting Emby down first when the config folder switch happened. Emby version  v4.9.30
 

My old config files were in:

/Users/<user>/emby-server

After the reboot, the config files were then expected to be in

/Users/<user>/.config/emby-server/

As per the prior post, after i went through the new setup wizard just setting a dummy username and 0 libraries , quit emby at the initial login prompt, copied the files over to the new destination and re-started Emby Server and everything was restored. 
 

Hi, that's helpful info. Thanks !
