The party's paladin has just fallen and I was planning for my Aasimar warlock to become a cleric through this
My character was a holy Valkyrie who drew power from a fiend so she could be the strongest one on the war and become the goddesses champion, but was kicked out of heaven and stripped of her wings as a result
I was thinking the reason she could be a cleric was that the goddess could somehow forgive her but I dont know how to
Talk it over with your DM. This sort of story beat is best handled with your DM, not with Internet strangers unfamiliar with your game.
That said, accepting the power of a celestial goddess would almost certainly mean forfeiting any further power from your fiendish patron. Those are two diametrically opposed sources of power, and presumably creatures with diametrically opposed sets of goals. Reconciling the two should probably be extremely difficult, and definitely merits a conversation with the DM over whether it's even possible.
Or perhaps she's turned to a less... discerning new deity?
I'm not sure of your alignment (or if that's even an issue here), but maybe she's turned to a god/goddess of death, or war... (as an ex-valkyrie, I'd try to stick with the theme, and go with either the death, grave, or war domains) and it so happens that this new god likes the fact that your valkyrie is so devoted to her cause that she's willing to do anything, even turning to hell to augment her power. Your old goddess saw it as disloyalty, this new one sees is as initiative, or passion, or... fill in the blanks. A god of war could have a lot to gain by working with a general in the blood war, after all... and your character is the means to do it.
Agreed with Yurie, though. This is exactly the kind of conversation you need to be having with your GM.
(gotta say - I play a scourge aasimar order cleric / celestial warlock from time to time... and he's a blast)
As always the correct answer is check with your DM. But… it's very possible to do with the appropriate wheeling and dealing.
You have to really, really want to atone for your past transgressions. At which point your redemption arc comes with your Clerical abilities. As Yurei1453 stated, you're likely going to lose your current fiend patron. But this can be a good thing and an "easy fix" for keeping your warlock powers. Again, this will likely start another quest for you but; in the lore succubus were once angels who were corrupted and fell. If you could find a succubus who's also undergoing their redemption arc, you might be able to combine efforts and thereby help each other achieve your goals and get/ keep your lock powers.
Short version: in no particular order…
be really sorry about the bad stuff you did
find a succubus who also feels really bad about the naughty things they've done
join forces to repent for your evils
Pray to God (your original or other) for redemption and aid
Perform long and complicated requests to reach your goals
