How to change a webhook channel?

I am trying to get my discord bot to be able to imitate people, like Dad Bot does, but with custom text. My current code is:

 else if (command === 'sudo') {
    const sudoname = message.mentions.users.first().username
    if (sudoname === null) {
        return message.channel.send ('you need to mention someone.')
    }
    //remove the command
    const sudoreplace = message.content.replace('/sudo ', "")
    //remove the mention, we are left with the message
    const sudoreplace2 = sudoreplace.replace(args[0], "")
    const webhookpfp = message.mentions.users.first()
    //get mentioned user's avatar
    const webhookpfp2 = webhookpfp.avatarURL()
    const sudochannel = message.channel.id
    
    fetch(
        'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        {
          method: 'post',
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            username: sudoname,
            avatar_url:
              webhookpfp2,
            content:
              sudoreplace2,
          })
        }
    )
}

I know my way of replacing data is weird, but it works, it sends a message from the webhook with the profile and name of the mentioned user, but it only does that in one channel, set in the server webhook settings. Is there a way I can edit the webhook channel to the one that the command was executed in?

Use discord.js's WebhookClient ( implements Webhook) Class like this:

const { Webhook } = require('discord.js');
const webhook = new Webhook('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');

You can then use WebHook#send with WebhookMessageOptions:

webhook.send(sudoreplace2, {avatarURL: webhookpfp2, username: sudoname});

Before you do that, you can change the channel with WebHook#edit:

webhook.edit({channel: message.channel});

Final summary:

const { Webhook } = require('discord.js');
const webhook = new Webhook('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
webhook.edit({channel: message.channel});
webhook.send(sudoreplace2, {avatarURL: webhookpfp2, username: sudoname});

Problems I faced with this: I ( Guild Owner ) created the Webhook, when the Bot tried to edit it, Discord API returned DiscordAPIError: 401: Unauthorized, I fixed this by using message.channel.createWebhook('PlaceHolder');
