Hello @sshingote, Can you be a little more specific?
Can you post the console output and the contents of var/log/splunk/splunkd.log?
That would make it easier for us to help.

I used the following steps for splunk migration:-
1) rsync splunk directory from RHEL6 to Amazon linux2 machine
2) On new machine Amazon linux machine I downloaded Splunk 6.5.0 version and extracted on top of that
3) when started the splunk it gives me following error
