Hello,
If this is going to be a separate website, I would recommend adding an A record for your subdomain name rather than CNAME. That way if the A record for your main domain changes, it would not affect your subdomain.
Also, note that it could take between 1 and 72 hours for the DNS cache to clear over the Globe before you could see your new DNS records.
If you are still experiencing the issue, you could share your Vhost here and I could try to advise you further.
Regards, Bobby
