Seeing how you’re using WordPress, you’ll need to update the website URL of your site in the WordPress admin area. The setting can be found in the Settings → General menu.
You’ll want to request and install a new SSL certificate for your new domain. You can do so with the Free SSL Certificates tool.
Every SSL certificate has the domain name it’s valid for baked into the certificate, so it’s not possible to “move” a certificate to a new domain.
