EDIT Figured it out

Ok so what happened is I *sent* the transaction, at least the electrum walled show it as sent, but it was never actually sent / broadcast on chain.

I am not sure how the electrum wallet thinks this transaction has happened.

I probally have to reload the headers or something.

To get the right wallet I restored a wallet from the *zpub....* again.

If that happens, you don't have to restore the watch-only wallet, the saved "local transaction" can be removed by the right-click menu "remove".

That sometimes happen if the server you're connected to somehow dropped it from their mempool,
or since you're using a cold-storage set-up, you may have clicked "save" instead of broadcast after loading the signed transaction.
Either way, it will be saved as a 'local transaction', indicated by the 'blue computer' icon instead of the 'check', 'pie' or 'clock' icon.

But it does not explain why the wallet showed up as the transaction going through when it never got onto the blockchain.

Usually issues like this happen because you have created and stored the transaction locally instead of broadcasting it to the network. In that case your wallet knows the updated situation (coins moved from one address to another) and when you want to spend coins it will spend them from their new address but the rest of the world doesn't know it since you haven't broadcast the first tx.
If you go to your history tab the transaction has to have a different icon on the left side indicating it is local.

But it does not explain why the wallet showed up as the transaction going through when it never got onto the blockchain.

So I will leave it open for that reason

So I have an address in my BTC electrum wallet (watching) and it shows I have some BTC on it.

However the I cannot see this btc on any blockchain explorer on that address.

There are no incomeing or outgoing transactions on the blockchain explorer on that address.

I can see all the other addresses in my wallter have that have BTC have the corresponding amounts on various blockchain explorers and are correct in all respects.

I have found he outstanding amount ON a different change address in my wallet.

that

For some reason the Electrum wallet has confused itself as what address the coins are on.

The BTC in the electrm wallet show the BTC is on the change adress one bellow where it actualy is.

When I make a transaction to sign, it is using the wrong address.

Thanks in advance.

What has happened here?
