If I understood your question correctly, you want to move your WordPress installation from blog.xxx.com to yyy.com/blog, right? There is an official guide for this provided by WordPress: https://wordpress.org/support/article/moving-wordpress/

After you have changed the siteurl and home fields in table wp_options of your database to yyy.com/blog, you can use a plugin like Better Search Replace (https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/) that scans your WordPress database and replaces every URL of posts etc. with the new URL of your blog.

In addition, in case of an Apache webserver you need to take care of the .htaccess file and change the RewriteBase to /blog (assuming that it was / before).

Some special plugins (for caching etc.) need some special treatment, but often clearing the cache solves the problem.
