Post Was Ranked on the 2nd Page for keyword. Updated Content, Fixed URL structure, Did 301 Redirect, and Now Post Isn't Even in the Top 10 Pages on Google.

So, I was ranking for a keyword around the 18th spot. I decided to update the content, add a few more headers, and some other pieces of information that the other pages on the top page had.

Then, I rearranged the URL structure of my post so that it was better siloed. Afterwards, I did a complete 301 redirect of the post so that on Google, when they clicked on my post, it wouldn't show up as a 404 page not found.

Then, I checked today and according to ahrefs and Google Search Console, my page has gone from 18 to 77 and it just keeps dropping.

Now, it seems as if the page itself has entirely disappeared. This has killed my traffic and I don't really know what to do. Any advice?
