Updating payment card to pay for iCloud storage

I’ve recently lost my credit card and had new one. Consequently I received email stating that monthly payment for iCloud extra storage had failed and telling me to update payment method.

I've followed steps to the letter, and so has my tech savvy 29 year old daughter, but system will not allow me to enter my new credit card number.... I can type in expiry date and security code but not new number. Not will it complete the process to ‘add new payment method’. I’ve tried deleting the lost card but it won’t allow this as ‘ there has to be at least one payment method set up for monthly subscription. How do I add new card in order to delete old one. Any suggestions as to how to proceed?

thanks j
