Your formatter function is working, only reason its not showing is because you never registered the plugin which is necesarry as stated in the documentation:

Chart.register(ChartDataLabels);

const options = {
  type: 'doughnut',
  data: {
    labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
    datasets: [{
      label: '# of Votes',
      data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
      backgroundColor: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"]
    }]
  },
  options: {
    plugins: {
      datalabels: {
        formatter: (value, ctx) => {
          let sum = 0;
          let dataArr = ctx.chart.data.datasets[0].data;
          dataArr.map(data => {
            sum += data;
          });
          let percentage = (value * 100 / sum).toFixed(2) + "%";
          return percentage;
        },
        color: '#fff',
      }
    }
  }
}

const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);
