: Google did not crawl for my new updated website and crawling old once on same URl I have my website from last 7 years. recently now I have updated and redesign with some different landing

It takes time. Google index is huge and the crawler must find out that a link is not valid by visiting it and seeing what return code it gets.

Once the crawler gets back either a Permanent Redirect (301) or Gone (410), then that URL will be marked for replacement or removal from the index. So the thing to do on your side is make sure you return these return codes whenever possible.

Using a Not Found (404) is less effective because Google can come back later and try to crawl it, in case it was a temporary malfunction.

EDIT: As @closetnoc commented. Fetch as Googlebot does not update the index nor does it force Google to update it any faster. It is a tool to help you see if there are any problems. The Google index is enormous and distributed around the world, so it takes time to update.
