Using a button to switch between view controllers on different tabs (self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1 not working)

I'm a bit new to XCode, so I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong. So thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help me out :)

I have 2+ view controllers imbedded in a tab bar controller, and each vc is imbedded in a navigation controller, and I want to use a button in a vc to switch to another vc in a different tab. Actually, I was able to do this in a past project: I created an IBAction function that switches to a different tab when a button is pressed. Below is what my code looked like (and it worked with no problems at all)

@IBAction func ButtonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {

    self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1
}

However, it's not working anymore, and I don't know if I did anything differently. Is there a way around this? (Or maybe why this might not be working anymore?)

If that description was a bit confusing, I included a screenshot of what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to get from the top view controller to the bottom with when the button in the first vc is pressed

if you're in a navigation controller you might need to do this: self.navigationController?.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1
