I'm trying to transfer my domain name to my pythonanywhere web app but I am unable to do so. I have set up a CNAME as instructed and it seems to have worked:

https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/www.barrygriffin.com

However, when I click "Reload www.barrygriffin.com", I get an error:

There is a problem with your domain name configuration. Take a look at the DNS setup section below for details. Be aware that DNS changes can take some time to propagate across the internet. The exact time they take will depend on your domain configuration, but it could be as long as a day.

and:

We were unable to find a CNAME for your domain. Check this help page for more information about how to set it up correctly.

When I run dig using pythonanywhere bash I see:

;; ANSWER SECTION: www.barrygriffin.com. 4717 IN CNAME barrygriffin.com. barrygriffin.com. 4716 IN A 69.90.162.80

This looks wrong doesn't it?

How does DNS configuration for your domain look like?

DNS1 is set to: ns1.hostpapa.com

and DNS2 is ns2.hostpapa.com

I also have:

barrygriffin.com. 60 IN A 69.90.162.80

www.barrygriffin.com. 60 IN CNAME webapp-1092586.pythonanywhere.com

When did you set up the CNAME? It can (like the error says) take up to 24 hours to fully propagate. When I go to the whatsmydns link, it looks like there are still one or two locations it hasn't reached yet.
