Please find the error below Branch creation was rejected by Git hook

I think you are trying to change API call URL under this folder /opt/gitlab-8.9.6-0/apps/gitlab/gitlab-shell/config.yml
gitlab_url: , where as this is using for API calls.
Do not change this to any domain names, Always fix with current server IP.
now try to change Domain name URL in webserver (apache/nginx). In your case -> try to create branch over there.
Check logs for any errors in gitlab-shell.log
