You have a pending payment that needs to be paid first. You will need to add a valid payment method to pay that before you can change regions. If you had a payment method previously and it was unable to process the charge that shows pending, it is no longer considered a valid payment method and you will need to add a different one. You can contact Apple here for information about additional options to pay the amount you owe:
