App Store is stuck with old Apple ID

I recently made a new apple account with updated details. Everything was transferred over to the new account with little to no issue. However, the App Store is stuck with my old email so I am unable to download updates or any apps since I don’t remember password. The App Store settings show my new email so I’m confused as ****. Please help.

Assuming Activation Lock is involved here, you’ll need to recover access to that Apple ID.

And then transfer ownership of the iPhone or iPad or Mac to the new Apple ID.
