Hello there,
You would need to update your OLS Virtual Host with the new domain name. Here’s a step by step guide on how to do that from the OLS official website:
https://openlitespeed.org/kb/setting-up-name-based-virtual-hosting-on-openlitespeed/
After that you can follow the steps here on how to install the Let’s Encrypt certificate for the new website using certbot, again this is an article from their official knowledge base:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
Hi,
If you are using OpenLiteSpeed, please access to the web admin at port 7080. And follow this doc to add your new domain on the listener. Otherwise you may just get a 404 page. Before accessing to the web admin, please make sure you have port 7080 allowed,
ufw allow 7080.https://docs.litespeedtech.com/cloud/images/wordpress/#step-2-add-domain-to-listener
