  Hi there Kate,

  See the instructions here for updating your domain’s name servers: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-name-servers/

  Note you’ll need to get the information on what to set the name servers to from your new host (popular hosts are linked at the bottom of this article). Also note they recommend transferring your domain to your new host as it allows for easier management and issue resolution. The instructions for that are here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/

  Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
