    Hello! I am using the free version of wordpress. My domain is the basic one from wordpress (free). Recently I’ve changed my domain name (e.g. ABCD -> EDDMS). Ever since then, all my old posts are no longer available and my site is not found in google, not even I search for the complete website.

    May I ask how can I solve this problem?

    As very clearly stated before renaming your site, “Once you change the “example” part of example.wordpress.com, the old address will stop working. Visitors will not be redirected to your new site address.” and “If you follow these instructions for changing your site address, links to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken.” You have to wait untill Google crawls your site again.
    Another solution is buying a Site Redirect Upgrade, https://wordpress.com/support/site-redirect/
