I have created a dataset but I have collected data from other sources. How can I write that I used other sources? Do I have to put it into footnotes and bibliography as well?

Chicago style doesn't directly address dataset citations, but the Webster University guide to Chicago style provides a guideline for citing datasets based on IASSIST recommendations. From this, it seems that yes, you should cite all your original source datasets following the template that they give:
