Hi, I understand your need and wishes to transfer funds from one Apple Account to another. However, federal banking laws do not permit that.
An Apple Cash Account is permanently associated with the Apple Account used to open your Apple Cash account. What you need to do is log into your old Apple Account, and transfer funds to your bank account. Once the funds have transferred to your bank account, you can then transfer the funds to your new Apple Account used.

Re: “… after switching phones my Apple ID is different …”
Is there any particular reason why you didn’t simply use your pre-existing Apple Account with your new phone ?
That’s the way Apple generally intends things to work.
[I.e. One Apple Account … with multiple devices … over multiple years … or decades]
