When you're talking about blockchain, do you mean blockchain.com/blockchain.info? If this is what you're talking about then I am assuming you have an online wallet at one of these sites. The wallet is just a vehicle to hold your bitcoin and there are literally thousands to choose from. One of my first wallets was blockchain but I found the double authentication too burdensome, especially when I was only moving small to medium amounts of bitcoin. Not to mention the occasional outage/various problem that an online wallet will provide. Far and away I prefer Electrum now, it's one of the most popular bitcoin wallets. It downloads right to your desktop and gives you more control of your BTC (you will never have your funds locked up or be subjected to intrusive KYCs, as I have been with other wallets. Overall, it's cleaner, more simple, less hoops to jump through, and just all around better in my humble opinion. I was hesitant to make the jump too bc I don't like to mess around with what works, but to anyone who is not 100% satisfied with their bitcoin wallet, I can't recommend Electrum high enough.
It sounds like the problem is with blockchain, so in this case a new address would not help.
