2The QgsVectorLayer::renameAttribute() method was introduced in QGIS 2.16. I'm guessing you're using an earlier version? – Joseph Jan 25 '18 at 10:24

Could you update to a more recent version (e.g. 2.18)? Otherwise you could try the method posted here. – Joseph Jan 25 '18 at 11:08

I had the same issue. Try this piece of code. It worked for me.
layer = iface.activeLayer()
for field in layer.pendingFields():
if field.name() == 'old':
with edit(layer):
idx = layer.fieldNameIndex(field.name())
layer.renameAttribute(idx, 'new')

This code is based on QGIS 3.0 not on 2.0 which causes the error in QGIS < 3.0 – Chetan Vashisth Nov 12 '19 at 12:35
