To change the Attached Orders, go to the Trade Window for the chart on which you will be making the trades (if it is not already open for the chart, then select Trade >> Open Trade Window for Chart).

Select the Targets tab at the top.

Select the Stop that you already have entered. Then change this to what you want.

Refer to the following for the instructions for this:
Attached Orders: Using Attached Orders and Attached Order Settings

--

If you are changing your Parent (primary) order, then on the the same Trade Window, on the Main tab, there is a selection box for the order type just below the checkbox for Use Attached Orders. Open that selection box and change your order type there. You may have to change the items below it, depending on what type of order you are selecting. Refer to the documentation for this here:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Entering an Order from the Trade Window

That is because the CME Group changes stops to Stop-Limit. Refer to the following:
