Then it should be able to see the unconfirmed transaction.
Right-click on "Unconfirmed" and select "Increase fee (CPFP)" and proceed to create a transaction that'll bump its fee rate.
Sparrow has the capability to CPFP your outbound transactions if it has enough change.

It's what LoyceV suggested in the post above.

Impossible. It's either,
1. Your TX will be confirmed later.
2. Your TX dropped by most node (after 14 days or purged due to many TX with higher fee rate), which is equal with never sending your BTC in first place.

I've seen a third option: the node force closed the channel, which forced a CPFP at much higher fee back into my own wallet.

@OP: If you have change from the transaction that opened the channel, you can do CPFP yourself. Send the change to one of your own addresses with a higher fee.
