Apple ID and other passwords

I have had to change my Apple ID continuously as having changed and received confirmation from Apple it is not accepted when I attempt to log in, and when I try to use the new ID as my iCloud password it tells me the account needs fixing. I have been hours going around in circles; please help a demented soul

2. In the Sign-In and Security section, choose Apple ID.

3. Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID.

4. Choose Change Apple ID.

5. If you changed your Apple ID to a third-party email address, check your email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email. --> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

6. If you use services like iCloud or Messages to share with friends and colleagues, sign in to those services with your updated Apple ID. --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
