When you entered your children as dependents in MY INFO, did you say they lived with you the WHOLE YEAR? You have to say they lived with you all year, even if they were born on December 31 of the tax year you are filing for.
As for filing as Head of Household---did you answer the questions in MY INFO correctly?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
If you made a mistake on your 2023 return you can amend it after it has been fully processed.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...
Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take five months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
