Yes, your HP Pavilion X360 - 14-Cd0005nx (4PP07EA) is compatible with a Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1TB SSD.
The only thing I am still researching -HP made it challenging to find out, if your M.2 slot is 3rd gen or 4th gen.
That doesn't matter per se, because the Samsung 980 Pro is backward compatible with Gen3.
One of my rigs, an HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF, is fitted both with a Samsung 980 Pro Gen4 (primary drive) and a Samsung 970 Evo Gen3 M.2 NVMe SSD. They both perform very well, even though my system is Gen3. A PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD will work in a PCIe 3.0 M.2 motherboard slot at PCIe 3.0 speeds.

Oh yes, see my previous [edited] response. Even if your PC is Gen3, a Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD will likely still outperform a Gen3 M.2 NVMe SSD as you can see in my first message.

All right, it took some effort, but it appears that your device has a Gen3 M.2 NVMe SSD slot based on: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06140017.pdf, which, to the best of my knowledge, represents your laptop.
This manual happens to mention this HP M.2 NVMe SSD part number: L18198-001, which, after further digging, turns out to be a "WD [Western Digital] built-in SSD M.2-2280 / 512GB / WD Black / PCIe Gen3 NVMe / 5-year warranty / WDS512G1X0C" -emphasis added.
This means that you could consider foregoing the extra expensive of a Samsung 980 PRO Gen4 M.2 NVMe 1TB SSD, and instead opt, for example, for a Samsung 970 Evo Gen3 M.2 NVMe 1TB SSD. -Your choice. To be honest, I would still go for the Samsung 980 PRO Gen4 M.2 NVMe 1TB SSD, as you can swap it in the future into a newer Gen4 computer if you happen to buy a new(er) laptop.
