Yes - exactly,

The name of your script was "day1", IIRC. That's its name - calling it
day1.sh doesn't work, because that's the name of a completely different
file (that doesn't exist).

You *also* need to tell the OS where to find your script - either by
giving it an explicit pathname, or letting it find it by searching along
$PATH - but that's entirely secondary to the problem of needing to use the
right name in the first place.

Simply because it didn't exist. Your script was called "day1". "day1.sh"
is not the same file.
