You need to re-flash the firmware.
Make sure that when you update:
Check for app updates and install those first!!
Make sure your batteries are at 100 percent (Yes it matters)
Finally Make sure you update everything if possible (Batteries, Controller.)
There are no reported problems with that update.

Please try updating it again by dji assistant once with good internet connection.
And yes as in above comment @Cafguy suggested
Make sure your battery is fully charged before updating the drone

Re-Flash in the sense like how can you just help me out, inside the venue GPS is not being locked like before, it’s keep blinking and 0 going to alti mode not only mine recently I saw one more guy his drone also while flying inside didn’t got control and fall down

Flash IMU data if you have the Flashing tool

Try your drone outdoors where it has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky and see how it works there.
If it's fine outside, the problem is that where you are trying to fly prevents GPS reception, which can be quite normal when flying indoors.

not only mine recently I saw one more guy his drone also while flying inside didn’t got control and fall down

Lack of GPS reception doesn't have any effect on your control signal or cause the drone to fall.

Even in outside I faced same issue sometimes it’s going up and down suddenly

calibrate IMU and compass, and check your bottom sensor

The IMU and compass have nothing at all to do with GPS reception.
Recalibrating them won't fix the issue.

Hi, Im not referring with the Gps, I was telling the auth. to calibrate those to help stabilize the flight, well I know What I am talking Coz I am tech, both hardware and SW.

It's not normal to have to recalibrate the compass or IMU.
If there was a problem with those, he would have already noticed that and the app would have advised that recalibration was necessary.

Nope, you havnt experience those I think, anyways its my experience and its Yours.

Have you tried moving the mode selector switch from normal to sport while the drone and RC are connected as suggested in another thread in this section? Their very similar problem was solved in this manner.

The drone comes from the factory with a properly calibrated IMU and compass and they don't go out of calibration unless involved in a big crash or you add or remove parts to/from the drone.
In >10 years of hard flying, I've never had to recalibrate either.
Usually when people suggest recalibrating, it's because they've heard DJI's people who suggest it when they have no idea what might be the cause of an issue and want to suggest something.
But if your drone actually needed recalibrating, you would know.

Same experience as Meta4. I really can’t remember ever having calibrated any of my DJI drones IMU’s but a compass once, and for that I made sure I was metal free (no coins, keys, belt buckles etc) in a metal free area and only after moving the drone around to make sure it really needed calibrating.
