Reco has already explained why this approach is incorrect.
My own two cents on the problem is that Interfaces is meant to define
how the network is brought up, not to change a running network. If you
want to change a running network, use ifconfig or ip to change the
address. e.g. ifconfig enp-s3 10.5.0.3 should work since all you are
changing is the ip address.
