Once I go thru the steps you advised, what do I need to send to the IRS since this would be an amended return for 2018?

Read the filing instructions that print with the amended return ... you send the 1040X plus any forms/schedules that changed. In your situation that will be AT LEAST the Sch D & form 8949 but there may be others.
