Plus, now she's known as a villain for her actions in Westview. That is a LOT. And Wanda's accent ends up being a potent symbol of all the loss and humiliation she's suffered throughout her life. It's no wonder that as soon as she creates the false Westview, her Sokovian accent is replaced with an American one.
"The Sokovian accent took a lot of time. It hasn't gone anywhere. There have been reasons for everything. It lightened up when she started living in the States, and in WandaVision she is playing the role of being in an American sitcom and so it's not gone.

Is Wanda's accent gone?
The directors of Infinity War explained that Wanda's Sokovian accent is basically gone in Infinity War because as we could see that in the beginning of Captain America: Civil War, Natasha was training Wanda to be a spy and to be a spy, you have to be able to blend in, so Wanda probably dropped it as her Sokovian accent ...

Sokovian is a West-Slavic language, closely related to Czech and Slovak. Due to the long Hungarian occupation of the area, the language also includes a number of Hungarian loan-words. Unusually for the region, Sokovian is traditionally written using the Cyrillic, rather than Latin, alphabet.
Why doesn't Wanda have an accent in Multiverse of Madness?
According to Elizabeth Olsen, Wanda hasn't completely forgotten her Sokovian accent in Multiverse of Madness, as "she goes back to an accent that's more true to her" following the events of WandaVision.
Early life. Natalia Alianovna Romanoff (Russian: Наталья Альяновна Романова) was born on December 3, 1984, in the Soviet Union, and was trained as a KGB spy in a secretive academy called the Red Room which involved training as a ballerina as a cover, as well as the eventual sterilization of the students.
Florence Pugh has admitted she found it “daunting” to join the MCU in Black Widow and that she was concerned about doing a Russian accent. The British actress plays Yelena Belova — a sister figure to Scarlett Johansson's title character — in the Marvel film, which was delayed as a result of the coronavirus.
Along with her extraordinary fighting abilities, Natasha has a few other talents that make her one of the best spies and assassins in the world. She is multilingual; in addition to speaking Russian and English, she also is fluent in French, German, Chinese, and more.

Long story short, Wanda eventually learns her sons' souls are formed from an aspect of the demon lord Mephisto. After Mephisto reclaims that energy, Wanda and Vision's children are seemingly wiped out of existence and Wanda is made to forget she ever had children.
Perhaps as “WandaVision” continues and the spell of the American sitcom breaks, MCU fans will get to hear Scarlet Witch return to her traditional Sokovian accent.
