This is telling you that DNS resolution isn't working.
What do you get for....
host youtu.be
[Temlakos@temlakos ~]$ host youtu.be
youtu.be has address 172.217.10.238
youtu.be has IPv6 address 2607:f8b0:4006:81b::200e
youtu.be mail is handled by 10 aspmx.l.google.com.
youtu.be mail is handled by 10 gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
youtu.be mail is handled by 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
youtu.be mail is handled by 50 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.
youtu.be mail is handled by 40 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com.

Well, that is what you should get.
I can only reproduce the error you're seeing by modifying /etc/resolv.conf to break DNS.
So, why it isn't working on your system is a mystery. youtube-dl is written in
python. If you know how to debug it, you should. Or, if you've made manually
changes to your system in the area of python you may want to check your work.
It would appear that my system can resolve domains like "youtube.com"
but not the short form "youtu.be".
Because I just tried a download using the long-form URL--the standard
URL to which you always navigate, not the short-form URL you get from
the "share" routine. The download worked, exactly as your example did,
even to producing a good Matroska video file.
