Are you able to access your site by the IP address directly? A 521 error from CloudFlare indicates that your web server refused the request sent through from CloudFlare.

I had the same problem when I pointed my website to my new IP. Originally I was with SiteGround but switched hosting to a one click WP Digital Ocean install (Ubuntu 18.04). After updating my DNS with CloudFlare my website went down (both 521 & 502 errors). The fix for me was turning SSL to Off (Flexible allowed the site to open but the format was all messed up). I have an active SSL certificate so I am not really clear as to why it wasn’t working… Will do some more research but for now I am just glad to have my site back up and running.
