Arch Linux won't boot into my partition

i was trying to make a swap partition, in the process the uuid for other partitions might have changed and i cannot figure out  how to change the fstab to the current UUID. This is the prompt i am getting when i boot my pc

Starting version 250.4-1-arch
ERROR: device 'UUID=478c4bbf-f2a4-4f00-87ff-4694f59400f0'.
mount: /new_root: can't find UUID=478c4bbf-f2a4-4f00-87ff-4694f59400f0.
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs ]#

Any help or guidance will be much appreciated as i am new to arch-linux as a whole

Re: Arch Linux won't boot into my partition

That error is from the initramfs, from the root= parameter passed by your bootloader/boot manager. It won't be fstab.
