Using esc_html() on menu HTML will strip all HTML tags and break the menu structure. The $output variable contains HTML markup (ul/li tags) that should be preserved. Consider using wp_kses() with appropriate allowed tags or ensure the content is already properly escaped when building $output.
Suggested change

| $allowed_html = array( | |
| 'ul' => array( | |
| 'id' => true, | |
| 'class' => true, | |
| ), | |
| 'li' => array( | |
| 'class' => true, | |
| ), | |
| 'a' => array( | |
| 'href' => true, | |
| 'title' => true, | |
| 'class' => true, | |
| ), | |
| 'span' => array( | |
| 'class' => true, | |
| ), | |
| ); | |
| echo wp_kses( $output, $allowed_html ); |
