No you will not get any penalty. Some time Search console takes some time to update their data.

There was a same problem had been occurred with me. But after some days, the issues had been resolved automatically.

So don't worry if you have done 301 redirection properly.

Not at all, no chance of any kind of penalty. First please check 301 redirection and canonical tag have implemented correctly and then to index the pages quickly, you can do the following things:


Upload xml sitemap on new website
Submit sitemap in GWT tool Fetch
Fetch new pages in GWT

Certainly you will not get any penalty for this.

If you have done the redirection correctly, It will be fine,But it takes some time for the google to update its database in all locations.

May be, Google still has not completed crawling all your URL, You wait for sometime, It will happen.

If you want to do it urgently, Then login to 1) Google Web Master 2) Crawl 3) Fetch as Google 4) Enter the URL and then do "Fetch"

I hope this helps. But it is not guaranteed.
