Wrong. The holiday was moved to a Monday, as well as other Federal holidays. But the Federal holiday was never changed to President's Day. It is named Washington's Birthday and it always has been. There is no Federal holiday named President's Day.
Some state holidays are named President's Day, but not the Federal holiday. There is a lot of misinformation in the media about this subject.
