Funds Stuck On-Chain UXTOs

Hi all. I need some help. I’m running Umbrel on a RaspberryPi and had some hardware issues. The node had been up and running for a few years without issue. Eventually got everything back up and running and the node is online again. In the meantime though it appears that a bunch of my open channels were closed.
As a result, I’ve been left with a bunch of unconfirmed sats on my on-chain balance. I can’t open any channels with the funds. I don’t know how to get the out.

I tried Option A here How to consolidate UTXOs to open LN channels but it didn’t work.
What’s worry is that when I look up a transaction ID such as this one c42706079ea7b4d6252bc5672edb1b7af32fdcbcb0d5b6fd9cab5de9f478ef17 on mempool it says “Transaction not found, Waiting for it to appear in the mempool”
I also tried to give one a kick on the tx accelerator (ViaBTC | Transaction Accelerator) but it didn’t work either.
There are a good few funds stuck. Can anyone help me out?

that tx does show and has been replaced using replace by fee and has been settled.

I assume you figured it out?

Unfortunately no, I didn’t get the fund out yet.

You’re correct though, the transactions are now showing on mempool. Just checked another b6927352573e400d970824af566e136788eff2c3b43c4e7a3316a90a3de8f266 and that shows as well.

I rebooted the node after posting so maybe that gave it a kick.

Still the same stuck unconfirmed though.

Could it be that your UTXO was used to sweep an anchor, but the tx was replaced by an anchor sweeping script? See here for a description and a solution to this issue.

You are spot on. Thank you!
Read the guide and followed it. As soon as I tracked the first UTOO I saw the 330 sat in mempool. Rebroadcast the first one and the sats moved to confirmed. 1m sats back already, need to go through the rest. Much appreciate the help.
