Changing page URL and connect newsletter to MailChip

I have a page on WordPress (example: abc.wpengine.com/abc) and I want to change it to abc.wpengine.com/xyz.

I tried to fix the page inside Pages and Posts, but it was not there. I also went into my theme's Custom Options > Customizing > Menus which is where I found the menu item and the page (abc) and "Custom Link" as the label:

I went ahead and changed the menu URL to abc.wpengine.com/xyz, but when I try to access the page it says:

The page isn't redirecting properly

As a novice to WordPress, I don't know where to reflect this change in order to make the page accessible to the new URL.

On the same website, I have a newsletter opt-in with one field (Email ID) in the sidebar:

I want to have the email that the user signs up with sent to MailChimp. What's the best way to connect to my MailChimp account? Do I need to add an embed code or a plugin?

Thanks for your help in advance!

1. Changing the page URL

If the page you are talking about (ex: ABC) is on your WordPress site, it will automatically be listed in a dropdown called Pages in the Menu, like so:

enter image description here

From there you can check the page you want and click "Add to Menu".

When you add a "Custom Link" to the menu, this is mainly used if you are linking external websites that is not on your WordPress website.

To change the URL slug of your page (/abc to /xyz), under the Pages section in your Dashboard, open up the page in question (ABC in this case) to edit it. When you have the page opened in your editor, at the top, you should see the following:

enter image description here

Where you see http://abc.wpengine.com/abc/ click "Edit" next to it. This will allow you to set the new URL slug to xyz.

2. MailChimp

Looking at your screenshot, I'm guessing that you are already implementing a newsletter plugin?

To have your subscriber's information added to your MailChimp mailing lists, I'd look into using the following plugin: MailChimp for WordPress

There's more details on how to use this plugin on the link that I gave you.
