As you have an active subscription:

Apple requires we have a valid payment method listed in the account at all times.

Ensure the new card is validated (ie: ready for use / able to be used now)

It may be necessary to first add a new card before an old card can be deleted.


See Apple Support's current online article below : Eg: says::

"Payment information that you use for Apple media purchases and subscriptions might be automatically updated by your financial institution".
