The sword he was carrying first was assigned to his position in the squad rather than to him personally. Now that his position has changed, he has to get assigned a different weapon. A process which is automatic but goofy at present, and especially problematic if he currently has a kill order.

If all else fails, remove everyone from the squad and disband it, and then create a new. Check if his old weapon was forbidden first, tho.

similarly, if you have forbid your items under the 'o'rders menu toggled ON, your previous squad commander's death will have made his sword forbidden, so your new commander will drop his old sword and try to get the commander's sword but will not be able to, because it's forbidden by the old commander's death. Longer way of saying: check weapons are all unforbidden.

To reiterate though, if you continue to have problems, remove the soldiers from the squad and disband it. When recreating it, make sure you reset the equipment for the squad ('m' 'e') after checking you have the relevant armour and weapons unforbidden and available.

It is a total pain in the butt, but you gotta do what you gotta do if you want that upright candy weapon.
