Just do the same approach with CASE you've already used:
Select ID,
CASE WHEN d1='X' AND d2 IS NULL THEN 'NEW'
WHEN d1 IS NULL AND d2='X' THEN 'DROP'
ELSE 'CHANGE' END AS Action,
Sum(CASE WHEN d1='X' THEN AMT ELSE 0 END) - Sum(CASE WHEN d2='X' THEN
AMT ELSE 0 END) AS Net
FROM Source GROUP BY ID ORDER BY 2 DESC;
