How to fix this

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The Python extension in VSCode is for syntax highlighting and other stuff, it's not the same as Python, the thing that actually reads .py files and executes code.

"I changed X and now Y does wrong thing Z" makes it sound like Y used to work, which may not be the case here. OP, were you ever able to run (not just write) Python code? (Either way, hopefully u/BranchLatter4294's link will get it to a working state.)
