When editing a question, you can change the question type from the dropdown menu to the right of the question text.

Limitations to switching questions
If a question has Question skip logic applied to it, or has already collected responses, you can't change the question type. Also, you can only hide certain answer options associated with that question.
When working with Matrix/Rating Scale Questions, assigning weights restricts column editing. If your survey has already collected responses and a question has weights assigned, you can only hide or add rows. Columns cannot be changed.
If you make the question a Single-row rating scale, weights are automatically assigned, meaning only rows can be added or hidden.
You can't switch to or from the following question types:
