Change directory in Jenkins using shell script in YML pipeline

Question

I have written a YML Pipeline in Jenkins. I cloned code using ssh from BitBucket. The code directory is inside the jenkins_pipeline directory. I have to run a few sh commands using the YML script. I want to change the directory at the start of the script to the code directory so that I no longer need to change it in every sh command. I am not getting a way to do this. Here is my YML script. I have tried using this method but it always says script.sh file not found which is there in the directory.
YML script

    pipeline:
  environment:
  agent:
    any:
  stages:
    - stage: Pull Code and Merge master in UAT
      steps:
        script:
          - sh 'git clone ssh://url-to-repo'            
          - sh 'source script.sh'     #it gives the error
          - sh 'pwd'
          - sh 'git checkout release/uat'
          - sh "git pull "
          - sh 'git status'
          - sh 'git merge -m "merging changes from main to UAT" origin/master'
          - sh 'git push'
    - stage: Content Replace
      steps:
        script:
          - withEnv: "['FIND_SER_NAME=dev','REPLACE_SER_NAME=uat']"
            script:
              - "contentReplace(configs: [fileContentReplaceConfig(configs: [fileContentReplaceItemConfig(matchCount: 0, replace: env.REPLACE_SER_NAME, search: env.FIND_SER_NAME)], fileEncoding: 'UTF-8', filePath: '/var/jenkins_home/workspace/UAT_YamlPipeline_Ceye_Service/deploy.sh')])"   
    - stage: Publish Changes to uat branch
      steps:
        script:
          - sh 'git status'
          - sh 'git add --all'
          - sh 'git commit -m "[CYB-128]changed the IPs for UAT branch for build"'
          - sh "git push  --all"
 

this is my currently working script

    pipeline:
  environment:
  agent:
    any:
  stages:
    - stage: Pull Code and Merge master in UAT
      steps:
        script:
          - sh ' cd ceye-service && git checkout release/uat'
          - sh " cd ceye-service && git pull "
          - sh ' cd ceye-service && git status'
          - sh ' cd ceye-service && git merge -m "merging changes from main to UAT" origin/master'
          - sh ' cd ceye-service && git push'
    - stage: Content Replace
      steps:
        script:
          - withEnv: "['FIND_SER_NAME=dev','REPLACE_SER_NAME=uat']"
            script:
              - "contentReplace(configs: [fileContentReplaceConfig(configs: [fileContentReplaceItemConfig(matchCount: 0, replace: env.REPLACE_SER_NAME, search: env.FIND_SER_NAME)], fileEncoding: 'UTF-8', filePath: '/var/jenkins_home/workspace/uat-ceye_service_code_change/ceye-service/deploy.sh')])"   
    - stage: Publish Changes to uat branch
      steps:
        script:
          - sh ' cd ceye-service && git status'
          - sh 'cd ceye-service && git add --all'
          - sh 'cd ceye-service && git commit -m "[CYB-128]changed the IPs for UAT branch for build"'
          - sh "cd ceye-service && git push --all"
 

I don't want to us cd in every command. Is there a way I could switch directory in start and it stay until the script ends? Thanks a lot

Markup, as comment doesn't have proper indentation: can you try this?

pipeline:
  environment:
  agent:
    any:
  stages:
    - stage: Pull Code and Merge master in UAT
      steps:
        script:
          - dir: "'ceye-service'"
            script:
              - sh 'git checkout release/uat'
              - sh "git pull"
              - sh 'git status'
              - sh 'git merge -m "merging changes from main to UAT" origin/master'
              - sh 'git push'

Documentation https://plugins.jenkins.io/pipeline-as-yaml/ specific the part of Special Steps With Code Blocks describes this.

Some steps has their own code blocks. For example: 'withAnt, withEnv, withCredentials, dir' or any other custom step definition which has it's own code block. This kind of steps also can be defined as YAML.
