    Can you explain a little more in detail?
    What do you want to transfer, a WordPress installed domain with option 22 to a Subdomain or a domain that you installed with option 2 in the centmin mod menu?

    For example, WordPress needs some db changes and/or in the wp-config.php file.

    There are many things that make a difference when you want to transfer a domain to a subdomain;

    And Yes, you need to create a new host for a subdomain. Centmin configures the new (sub)domain for you as a starter. After that initial step, it depends on what kind of content you want to transfer to your new subdomain, there are different ways to do to get your site working again.

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    Yeah a bit more background as changing domain name's on nginx vhost can be more involved - especially with wordpress sites which involve database data and config file changes.

    To be 100% sure, he best way is to create a new nginx vhost via centmin.sh menu option 2, 22 or nv and moving the data and files from domain.com to subdomain.domain.com as letsencrypt SSL certs are generated at time on centmin.sh menu run. Changing the server_name and other won't be enough as you'd get invalid SSL certificate errors for mismatched common name/domains listed on SSL certificate otherwise.

    For just Nginx you can see vhost config overview at https://centminmod.com/configfiles.html
