Look for a screw of some sort in the throat of the chuck.
Might be there and if there - take it out and then you can

i fear it will be a philips head

Be mindful of the direction to turn the retainer screw or bolt,
especially of it is a Philips head screw.

Most likely in the normal direction but for future reference,

Just remember that the screw tightens in the opposite direction that the
drill spins to drill a hole. To loosen turn in the direction that the
drill normally spins. Just like most anything that retains a spinning
object.
