can do 50 push ups with no problem. Do 50 every day after i walk my dog
Do your shoulders slope forward and are your shoulders/chest tight?
For years I’ve done pushups but no pull-ups. My shoulders and chest are super tight and I don’t have “normal” range of motion in my shoulders when stretching them. I’m wondering if I overworked/built one half of the joint muscles.

You're just immobile because you don't stretch

umm yea you neglected your posterior chain big time, you need to get a band and start atleast doing 100 band pull aparts a night to get that upper back some strength
also get a broom stick and start with 25 full range shoulder dislocates(google it) daily and slowly working to 50 a day and working those hands closer and closer.

Yes.
Like anything else, the body is about balance. Variation is key. Maybe get a broom stick, start with some basic mobility movements. Solid place to start. Also, just dead weight hangs. Also also, open palm, down and up, shoulder rotations, with arms extended outwards.

Same here. I mix 4 sets of 50 pushups 3 nights a week, but I don't have a clue how many, if any, pullups I can do.
I suspect not too many even though I am a skinny squirt.
