Learn how to link your remote again, as described in: If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support

Do both steps: the unlinking and then the linking.

Else make an assessment if the battery needs replacement.

Changed the batteries

Excellent.


when I press anything on the remote the light blinks on the Apple TV box but nothing moves on the screen

The Apple TV box would acknowledge receiving a remote signal by blinking the status light briefly. But it will only follow commands from linked remotes. So do the unlinking and linking using the key combos, as advised previously.
