    "users": [
        {
            "userId": "123",
           "userLink" : "www.example .com",

       $out = array_values($post);
       $post = json_encode($out); 
       print_r($post);

You need an additional array dimension, and if you use brackets [ ] you can easily see how they look the same:

 $post = [
             "users" => [
                  [
                    "userId" => "123",
                    "userLink" => "link",
                    "userType" => "au"
                  ]
             ]
         ];
  
$post = json_encode($post); 

Also, don't use array_values ; that will remove the string key users .
