Flutter Base widgets and properties are "undefined" in all projects

Question

I was trying to make a popup that could toggle with the floating button but now I am just trying to get the default example working. The center, column, methods and mainaxisalignment identifier(I think that is the name) suddenly stopped working. I was trying to fix it in one file but I realized that its happening in all my files even in different projects. I'm new to flutter so I don't know if I need to completely refresh my system or if there is a specific part I need to redownload/ refresh. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key, required this.title});

  final String title;

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        // Here we take the value from the MyHomePage object that was created by
        // the App.build method, and use it to set our appbar title.
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      // ERRORS HAPPEN IN THE FOLLOWING THREE LINES
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            const Text(
              'You have pushed the button this many times:',
            ),
            Text(
              '$_counter',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineMedium,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: const Icon(Icons.add),
      ), // This trailing comma makes auto-formatting nicer for build methods.
    );
  }
}

These are the errors I got...

The method 'Center' isn't defined for the type '_MyHomePageState'.
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'Center'.dartundefined_method

The method 'Column' isn't defined for the type '_MyHomePageState'.
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'Column'.dartundefined_method

Undefined name 'MainAxisAlignment'.
Try correcting the name to one that is defined, or defining the name.dartundefined_identifier

I was able to solve the issue with:

flutter upgrade      # download the new SDK for current channel

You may have to use the --force flag to force the current SDK to upgrade to the new one.
