You’re welcome!

I tried with your code and didn’t work for me too, so I did a few changes and now works for me.
In this code I use a function called slugify (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2955251/php-function-to-make-slug-url-string), to create the CPT slug.

Tell me if it works for you

if( have_rows('additional-post-type', 'option') ) {

    function register_post_types() {

       while ( have_rows('additional-post-type', 'option') ) { the_row();

            $cpt_name = get_sub_field('cpt-name');
            $cpt_slug = slugify($cpt_name);

            // new custom post type
            register_post_type(
                $cpt_slug , array(
                    'public' => true,
                    'labels' => array(
                        'name' => __($cpt_name, 'theme'),
                        'singular_name' => __($cpt_name, 'theme'),
                    ),
                    'has_archive' => true,
                    'supports' => array(
                        'title',
                        'thumbnail',
                    ),
                )
            );
        }

    }

    add_action( 'init', 'register_post_types' );
}
