In fact the problem is with the arabic input numbers, you need to convert them to normal digits.

If you put the code below it will resolve the error you are having: 

//$values = ['calc_pickup_date' => '٢٠٢٠/٠٢/٠٦ ١٩:٣٠','calc_return_date' => '٢٠٢٠/٠٦/٠٦ ١٩:٣٠' ];

// function that converts arabic numbers to standard digits
$convertNumbers = function($str) {
    $westernArabic = array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9');
    $easternArabic = array('٠','١','٢','٣','٤','٥','٦','٧','٨','٩');
    return str_replace($easternArabic, $westernArabic, $str);
};

$values = array_map($convertNumbers, $values); // convert numbers

// The rest of your code but using converted inputs
$date1 = new DateTime( $values['calc_pickup_date'] );
$date2 = new DateTime( $values['calc_return_date'] );

$diff = $date2->diff( $date1 )->format( "%a.%h" );

$hm = explode('.', $diff);

NOTE : I guess you need someone with development skills or try to learn some basics as this issue might be just the beginning ...
