You are setting a custom field on a term. For this you need to include the taxonomy as part of the $post_id. I have altered the update_field() call of your code

function my_create($term_id, $tt_id, $taxonomy) {
  // gets term_data for Post
  $term = get_term($term_id, 'interpret');
  // Create the Post and Save ID to $post_id
  $post = array(
      'post_title' => $term->name,
      'post_content' => $term->slug,
  );
  $post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
  // if Post was created
  if ($post_id) {
    // get Post by ID
    $link_to = get_post($post_id);
    // Post->ID
    $link = $link_to->ID;
    update_field('field_558e8544d5660', $link, 'interpret_'.$term_id);
  }
}
