It depends upon what you mean by "change Apple ID" (note the distinction between an account and an ID/email-address).
Here's how you change the email address (Apple ID) you use for your Apple Account while retaining everything in your account:
If you have an iPhone or iPad:
1. Go to Settings, then tap your name.
2. Tap Sign In & Security.
3. Next to Email & Phone Numbers, tap Edit.
4. Tap the Remove button next to the email address, then tap Delete.
5. Tap Choose Another Email Address and enter your device passcode if asked.
6. Enter the new email address, then tap Continue.
7. Enter the verification code that was sent to your new email address. Read this support article to learn what to do if you didn’t get the email —> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
8. If you encounter issues with certain services after doing this, this outdated support article may still have useful suggestions --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
Refer to the support article Change your Apple ID - Apple Support :
- If you don’t have an iPhone or iPad the support article says to, “go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in. Then follow the onscreen instructions to change the email address associated with your Apple ID.”
- For general information, and other issues such as changes or addresses not being accepted.
- Note a recent change to the article where you can now change the email address without having to have access to your old email account.
If you mean create a new account, that could well entail loss of items. Fortunately ApppleCare is tied to a specific device and not a particular user. However, even then it would be good to transfer it. You should avoid creating new accounts unless absolutely necessary.

You do not need to do this if you simply change the email address as in the section above.
