Yes — scam

My online partner sent me money and asked me to forward it — is it a scam?

Yes — and this version can make you legally liable. A romance interest who sends you money to forward, convert, or “hold” is laundering stolen funds through your account: the incoming transfer is fraudulent and will be reversed, the outgoing one is real and untraceable, and your bank can close your account or investigators can treat you as a participant. Stop moving the money, tell your bank exactly what happened, and end the relationship — a real partner never makes you their bank.
