Ray is not rotating with Object using Physics.Raycast

Hello, So I'm having trouble trying to rotate my ray with my player object. I've looked on the forums and tried out the answers for similar questions but nothing seems to have worked for me and I'm not sure what it is I'm doing wrong. Basically I've cast a ray from my player object to detect when it hits a cube. Once it does, I want my player object to rotate a certain angle and the ray to rotate with it. Here is my code:

 function PlayerCubeInteraction()
 {
     var hit: RaycastHit;
     var newRay = new Ray(transform.position, transform.forward);
     
     if (Physics.Raycast(newRay, hit, raylength))
     {
         if (hit.collider.tag == "cubeDown")
         {    
             transform.Rotate(0, 10, 0, Space.Self);
             GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity = Vector3 (0,0,0);
             Debug.Log("collision detected");
             GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().AddForce(0, 0, -speed);
             
         }
         
     }
 }

This function works in my FixedUpdate() function.
