Did you change the ID on the existing account or did you create a new account? If the latter you cannot transfer purchases or subscriptions. You can subscribe again, or you can set up Family Sharing with yourself. If you simply changed the existing ID, the subscription should still work.

Plus special instructions if your Apple ID ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com. You may also wish to turn off "Find My" before changing information and turn it on again afterward.
