Thanks so much for your answers.
So this is exactly what happend. I transfered Litecoin "via bitcoin network" from a Casino site. The transaction fee was huge (like 5€) compared to normal Litecoin fee(bitcoin fee like).
I entered a Bitcoin address. And the Coins were succesfully sent. After a few hours i understood that i wont be getting any bitcoin to the given address.
So i searched from my Profile history the "hash" and the "address". The hash ID guides me to Blockchain page, where i can actually see that i was sent litecoins succesfully to some address that i do not have acces of. But in the history page the "Adress" guides me to unconfirmed Blockchain page where my Bitcoin address has no transactions.
LTC->BTC(creates some new LTC) address which i dont have acces to. It shows as unspent

I transfered from 3rd party platform Litecoin via "Bitcoin network" to Bitcoin address. For some reason the transaction was succesfull, but i obviously didnt receive the funds.
Have you tried contacting the customer support of the platform you sent the funds from? What do they say?
However, i managed to track down the Litecoin wallet (which was apperantly created just for this transaction, since there is only 1 transaction done)
May I know how you were able to track down the Litecoin wallet (presumably the address) where the funds are being held? It's worth noting that it's possible for an address to receive funds even without a corresponding wallet created for it. This means that there's a chance that the funds might have been sent to an address that no one has access to.
So how is it possible that i send Litecoin to Bitcoin address, bitcoin transaction didnt arrive, but a new LTC wallet was created with my funds, where i have no access of.
Have i lost my funds?

It would be best if you directed that question to the platform through which you transferred the funds.

Each cryptocurrency has it own blockchain and the address had to be on the particular network you're sending to, which means you can't send bitcoin to another network except a bitcoin address and same applies to other cryptocurrencies except for the once that share thesame network on blockchain, when you send to a wrong address, you're most likely to miss the fund and loose everything, you would have exchange it first using p2p or rather provide me them with the litecoin receiving address.

When using a centralized institution or websites or casino, they will generate you an address which will have in custody your coin they are offering you, remember those you're dealing with too were also custodial channel, they have your wallet keys with them, once they offer their address, you will transfer the coin they gave you to an exchange using the same address on the same network from the exchange and receive you coin into it.

Obviously Yes.
Did you swap your Litecoin to Bitcoin using a third-party site like Changely or something like that? It is possible that the swap is successful and you need some time for the swap to process so waiting a bit longer may help. If it still doesn't appear on your BTC address after some time of waiting, then there is a possibility that you already lost the fund.
As far as I know, you cannot send Litecoin to a Bitcoin network nor Bitcoin to the Litecoin network directly because they have different protocols, unless you use some swap or converter where you send your LTC to the LTC address provided by the site then the site will convert it to BTC, and process it transfering the equivalent fund to your Bitcoin address. This process may take some time for the equivalent balance to appear in your Bitcoin address unless the site you used is a scam site.
If it is a scam site then it is more like that your fund is lost, or if it is a human error then it is more likely a lost fund already.

I don’t quite get the question but if you have actually tried to send a litecoin to a bitcoin address, most wallet will warn you off it that it is a wrong network but should the transaction actually go to though just like you said then this fund is lost forever.
Although according to some suggestions, if the bitcoin address starts from 1 and litecoin L then it could be possible to import your bitcoin wallet into a litecoin wallet and then spend the funds. Although I am not sure it works
