The worst thing u can do to a refrig/freezer in transport is lay it down. Hopefully that is not the case as it would ruin your compressor. Otherwise, check for proper airflow (behind and underneath) to the condensor fan near the compressor (dust, etc. across condensor coils) ,check for proper door seals. Is the unit in a much warmer room than before? Defrost timer could be stuck in defrost ( or computer control for defrost , depending on model).

If not a matter of door being left slightly open or hot food being inserted or freezer recently being activated, one pursues other possibilities:

Is the compressor running? It is hot? Is the water filter clogged? Does it have a bad switch? Look for reset switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XstbFK31Us0

Why is my top shelf freezing up so easily

When opening the freezer door on a hot humid day, you allow this hot humid air inside that freezes on very cold surfaces. Cool your home with AC, it will get rid of the excessive humidity to reduce your freezer problem. The less time the freezer door is opened also helps to reduce the ice buildup.

I have a 10 year old kenmore frostless freezer that I recently moved to my house that runs continuously. All troubleshooting causes check out ok

Are its condenser coils clean? they get dirty, youre thermostat may be bad but better stuck on than off! you can get an appliance timer rrated for 15 amps and set it off all night or 8 hours at least and it should be fine if not opened alot or compressor isnt tired

Used freezer won't freeze food

If the compressor is running and it still doesn't cool, it is probably leaking freon. If this is a frostless model there are other minor things that can go wrong. This usually shows up on a freezer that has recently been moved or hasn't been used for a time. This is almost never worth fixing as even if you fix it you can't ever completely trust it again. The food inside is usually worth far more than the freezer and most homeowners insurance doesn't cover it anyway.

Freezer is freezing but the outer wall are extremly hot

This is a normal condition.  The condensor coils are in the cabinet and their job is to remove heat which is why it is hot.  You will want to make sure the freezer isn't in a tight spot where air from the room can't flow across it.  Without good air flow it will become too hot and not cool properly and lead to the compressor failing too soon.
