My site was indexed as www.example.com.
Purpose: I would like to make a change to example.com
Question: Can you please give me a hint if I'm doing this in the best possible way?

What I've done:


I've made permanent redirection (301) from www.example.com and example.com to example.com
I've created 2 sitemaps:


sitemap_w.xml - which includes links like www.example.com/some-page1/, www.example.com/some-page2/ etc. - I'm not sure if I should use https here too?
sitemap_s.xml - which includes links like example.com/some-page1/, example.com/some-page2/ etc.



and included both of them in robots.txt


In Google Search Console I've added www.example.com and example.com. For all of existing versions (http://www too) I've changed preferred domain to non-www.
In Google Search Console I've updated robots.txt and added both sitemaps:


for www.example.com I've set sitemap_w.xml
for www.example.com I've set sitemap_s.xml



This is all I've done. Should I change something? Did I forget about any significant factor?
