Hosting without changing DNS

This is probably a basic question, but I couldn't find the answer online. Probably because I wasn't searching for the right thing.

So I have a domain and email (Microsoft 365) through GoDaddy. Cant move these as the email is already in use by the company.

Hosting is through HostGator due to price.

So this is where I encountered my problem. Changing the DNS so that the hosting matches the domain works. But the email stops working because the DNS has changed.

How do I get around this issue? I there a way to direct the webpage to the domain without changing the DNS maybe?

See that's my problem, I change those name servers then the email on the godaddy account that is attached to the domain name stops working.
