I'm not able to change my message display name.

When I try to edit name and photo in message, I get "...because iCloud and iMessage accounts are different or not signed in". I'm able to log in the iCloud but how do I log in to iMessage?

You are welcome. After changing the Apple ID, did you sign out of iCloud, FaceTime, and Messages, and then sign in with the new ID? You have to sign out/in. The ID change doesn't automatically do that.
