Hard to answer without more information. It depends what you did and didn't do as you performed the upgrade. Starting with the basics: did you read the topics about upgrading in the Installation Manual? Start with How to upgrade Splunk and go on to the topics that follow it.

Please explain more about your environment, the steps you took, and what the results and error messages were.

You can also check the Known issues in the release notes.
