How do I Change Sprite Texture in GDScript?

Godot Version 4.2

I am trying to make a 2D Dungeon-Crawling RPG. My player sprite uses Characterbody2d. So far I have something like this:

@export var speed = 400

func get_input():
	var input_direction = Input.get_vector("left", "right", "up", "down")
	velocity = input_direction * speed

func change_sprite():
        #????????

func _physics_process(delta):
	get_input()
    change_sprite()
	move_and_slide()
       

I can’t find a simple way to change the texture of a sprite in godot 4.2.

This is my first post

[mrcdk]

func change_sprite():
	var texture = load('res://my_sprite.png')
	$Sprite2D.texture = texture

But if you are a new user to the engine, it’s better to start with the Getting Started part of the documentation here Introduction — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English it will teach you how to use the editor, the concepts of Godot, and how to structure 2 small games one in 2D and another in 3D.
