Sorry to burst the bubble, but you can't change the difficulty of an existing Terraria world directly. Once you've created a world with a certain difficulty, it's locked in. However, there's a workaround if you're determined: you can use third-party tools like TEdit to edit your world's difficulty. Always make backups before using such tools, though, just to be safe!
Actually, you can't change the difficulty mid-game; it's a one-time choice. So choose wisely when you create your world!
