Hey SKline18,
We'd be happy to help out. It's not quite clear what might be going on here. What do you mean by "App controls are disappearing", and are you saying that when you change your Screen Time passcode, it doesn't update?
To get started, make sure you're using these steps to reset your Screen Time passcode correctly:
How to reset the Screen Time passcode for your personal device
Use the steps below to change your Screen Time passcode on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Go to Settings > Screen Time.
2. Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again.
3. Tap Forgot Passcode?
4. Enter the Apple ID and password* that you used to set up the Screen Time passcode.
5. Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.
This is outlined further here: If you forgot your Screen Time passcode
If you continue to have issues afterward, make sure you're running the latest version of iOS 16, which is 16.2. If you don't yet have it installed, check out: Update your iPhone or iPad

We hope this helps out.
Take care!
