Solution
The problem will not occur when the pluggable database is closed and opened. Or create service after creating pluggable database.

SQL> show con_name CON_NAME ------------------------------ CDB$ROOT SQL> alter pluggable database PDB1 close immediate; Pluggable database altered. SQL> alter pluggable database PDB1 open; Pluggable database altered. |
You can then change the container without receiving this error.
