From the article below.


If you can't change your Apple ID


If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later.


If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account then try to use it. 


Note the restrictions in the article.


Apple ID Name Change.  * 


Make sure you turn of Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.


 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support  *  I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
