Looks like type is missing, can you try as below,

---Secrets.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mysecret
type: Opaque
data:
  CassandraSettings__CassandraPassword: [[ .Environment ]]-abcd-cassandra-password

---Deployment.yaml

    env:
      - name: Password
        valueFrom:
             secretKeyRef:
               name: mysecret
               key: CassandraSettings__CassandraPassword
