Google Indexing not happening after updating URLs and Categories on Squarespace Shop

Hopefully someone much more technologically wise can give me some pointers on this, and how to hopefully fix the issue:

Earlier last year, I decided to create a new website with Squarespace, to eventually replace my old website that runs on a different domain. Everything was easy peasy, everything worked great, except GSC kept telling me the URLs on my products and categories are too long. I was getting good sales, people seemed to not have a problem finding my site. But still, GSC told me the urls are too long - So I changed the names of categories, and some products - which, obviously, caused all products to no longer be available to Google, since those urls are no longer valid.

I did quite a few manual 301 redirects from the old url to the new ones - but GSC still says there are 94 pages not indexed, and the last crawl date shows N/A. I've been trying to submit the new urls manually to have them indexed - but no change on GSC.

I've resubmitted the sitemap multiple times, though that seems to be happening automatically anyway, so that's probably overkill anyway. 

Orders and visits to my site have dropped wayyyy down.
Is there a way to fix this indexing issue to bring my site back up, in a way that a technologically challenged person like me can do that on my own?
(I did not connect my two sites - the old one runs on Opencart, and I'd hate to break that one as well as this one in the process).

I have the same problem with my services page which I feel should be indexed. I've requested it to be so a few times but nothing yet. Have you had any success or new insight here? Anyone?
