Symmetrize will mirror your armature on X and will use the origin as center of the symmetry, this is what's happening here – moonboots Feb 22 '23 at 21:08

Symmetrize will mirror your armature on X and will use the origin as center of the symmetry, but here your armature is aligned with Y and its origin is not correctly placed. To fix that:
- In Object mode rotate your armature 90° on Z and apply the rotation and scale with CtrlA
- In Edit mode select the head of your spine bone (for example), press ShiftS > Cursor to Selected, then in Object mode right click > Set Origin > Origin to 3D Cursor:
- Symmetrize again
