Summary
I'm attempting to extend partition with LVM on it and its failing... All Googles and Bings have failed so unsure where the issue lies. Here is what's happened so far.
This is a virtual server that was given 8GB of Storage. It hit its cap after the application was applied (and ran out of space during updates and downloads). It only required 4GB more, so applied 4GB (VirtIO). This was detected by the OS and I used fdisk to get VDA3 from 8GB to 12GB, but the LVM will not extend.

Issue
Here is where I'm stuck. Every guide, post and forum I've been digging into has failed. I'm assuming at some point its supposed to show FREE PE / Size is supposed to be detected, but nothing ever gives up the extra space from the partition.
Attempts
rebooting | nothing changes.
partprobe | nothing changes.
resize2fs /dev/vda3 | error:
- resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
- resize2fs: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/vda3
- Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Note: This is supposed to be the next step after the partition resize (from my guidance when starting this). I also attempted to do it on the LVM and got "The filesystem is already 1637376 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!"

I'm not new to Linux, but far from a pro... Thanks to anyone in advance that reads and assists :3
