Updating android app in Google play requires change in both version and versioncode?

I am trying to update an app on Google PLay. Do i need to update both?

android:versionName and android:versionCode

I updated without changing the versionName, I ONLY changed the versionCode. Does it count as an upgrade? Will the user see the update available? Thanks in advance!

VersionCode needs to be changed. It's the value used by Android to determine your version. VersionName is shown in the playstore and is only used for users to see the update count.

Users will see the update but won't see a change in version number.

Yes, the user will still receive an update.

versionCode is the deciding factor when Google Play issues updates. Your versionName can stay the same for your app's entire existence, and Google Play will still issue updates.
