I cloned my installation from a 240GB SATA SSD to a 500GB NVMe SSD using Clonezilla. The cloning was completed successfully, except for a failure with initrd (unfortauntely I don't remember the actual error). After rebooting I manage to get to right before the login screen and then I'm kicked into emergency mode. I already checked /etc/fstab and the UUIDs of the drive are correct. I tried running update-initramfs -u but that didn't help. I'm sorry for not providing more accurate debugging info, but I don't even know where to look for it. If anyone needs some debug logs please tell me where to find them. Thanks.

Solved it, answering for anyone that might encounter the same issue.

My fstab also had my storage drive in it and I didn't know the system wouldn't boot unless it detected all drives in the file. Make sure to comment out or delete any drives that are not connected.

    The nofail option can be used for mounts that are not essential.
