Transition to bed now my toddler keeps waking

Can anyone please help my toddler has always slept through since 4 months old when he turned 3 we changed his cot into a bed and picked all super hero bedding and he loved it but now he keeps waking screaming for me at his baby gate at 3am we take him back to bed but he'd takes 2 hours to settle me and my partner Are both exhausted He's still got his dummy for bed time, teddy, the rooms the perfect temperature we've tried a night light that made his wake ups more frequent I am not sure what to do

What is the routine? When does he wake, nap?, bedtime?

He doesn't nap and hasn't for 12 months We've kept all his bed routine the exact same apart from I don't cuddle him to sleep and put him in the cot I now sit at the side of him till he goes to sleep He has always been bed by 7pm awake at 7am Most nights now since going in to his bed he wakes around 3/4am

It could be nightmares he’s having maybe giving him some warm milk in his beaker hopefully that’s helps

Could it be that he's missing the connection he got from being cuddled to sleep? Could you lay with him and cuddle him in the bed so he still gets that.
