You can use "Edit metadata", "Edit metadata in bulk", "Search and replace" in calibre to update the "odid" identifiers, searching for the old URL and replacing it with the new one. If you choose to do that backup your library beforehand and be very careful. That function can easily mess up your entire library if used incorrectly!
The next Overdrive Link plugin release (in about a week) will recognize those two sites as being equivalent. If you install that, change the URL in your plugin configuration, and run "Check and repair book links" from the plugin menu it will automatically update the individual books that link to that library. I recommend doing it this way instead of using bulk search and replace.
