My Apple ID is an old e-mail that has recently been found on the dark web. I would like to change it, but Apple's online help references an edit function that I don't see on my account page. How can I change my Apple ID?

Thanks, Limnos for your reply, but I had already followed the instructions and was not able to find an option to edit my account. Does Apple have a phone number for technical assistance?
How can I change my Apple ID?
