    Adding a new widgetized sidebar is a fairly major structural change. Things to consider:

    Have you output your new sidebar somewhere in your theme files? In addition to registering the new widget area in your functions, you also need to display it in one of your theme files. That could mean calling it in from an existing theme file, or from a new sidebar file that you’ll need to create, and then include from another file, like page.php for example.

    Also just to be sure, are you doing this in a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme? Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

    If you didn’t make a child theme, I’d suggest you make one now, otherwise all your changes will be overwritten when you update the theme to the latest version.
