Error "variable does not exist" using custom setting values in apex trigger

Here is my code. Getting error Variable does not exist: OppFieldName at line 21 column 11.

trigger Update_X_Reference on Opportunity (before update) {
        for(Opportunity Opp : Trigger.new){
        if(opp.is_ams_renewal__c)
         {
       
Opportunity oldOpp = Trigger.oldMap.get(opp.Id);  
Account_x_reference__c xref = [select ID,ams_renewal_email__C,X2019_AMS_Additional_Discount__c, ams_renewal_contact__c from account_x_reference__c where ID = :Opp.Account_X_Reference__c LIMIT 1];

    if(oldOpp.AMS_Renewal_contact__c !=opp.AMS_renewal_contact__c){
    
    TaxUpdateYear__C TUY = TaxUpdateYear__c.getInstance('UpdateYear');
    String OppFieldName = TUY.Opportunity_Field_Name__c;
    String XRefFieldName = TUY.X_Ref_Field_Name__c;
    xref.ams_renewal_contact__c = opp.ams_renewal_contact__c;
    
    }
if(oldOpp.ams_renewal_email__c != opp.ams_renewal_email__c)
{
    xref.AMS_renewal_email__c = opp.ams_renewal_email__c;
}
if(oldOpp.OppFieldName != opp.OppFieldName)
{
    xref.XRefFieldName = opp.OppFieldName;
}

update xref;
}
{
return;
}
}
}

You need to use the dynamic apex to get the field value dynamically like below  use  Dynamic Apex and also the methods described on the SObject class, specifically in your case the 'get' methods
  
String mycustomattValue = (String) opportunity.get(mycustomatt);
Or
  
CustomObject.put(customObjFieldName, account.get(accountfieldName));

Where should I move it to?
Tried moving it up to where I am declaring the other variables, but still no luck.
