I am sure you would not be willing to change just the label keeping the name the way it is. Unfortunately, if you have to change the API name of the field, you will have to make changes in the Apex classes, validations, formulas etc wherever these fields are referenced.

Best way 

1) create another field of the same type 

2) from eclipse replace all old field with newly created field 

3) change the name of old field and then repeat the  step 2 again

4) Delete the newly created field

they are not allowing to do like this.

they want to rename the field names and also the api names in both account object nad  in

apex classes too..

Any idea?

Then you just need to comment the code wherever field is referenced (which is really painful ) and make the changes

Is it causes any errors from moving one sandbox to test sandbox?

Moving with commented code ?
