[SOLVED]

If VM is still running, use shell script below to stop:

gcloud compute instances stop [vm name]

Run script below to confirm vm has stopped:

gcloud compute instances list

Run script below to modify machine type of vm:

gcloud compute instances set-machine-type [vm name] –zone=[xone name] –machine-type=[new machine-type]

Remember to start vm instance using gcloud compute instances start [vm name]
