does the creditor or debt collector has to file a new garnishment after if the employee was terminated from the employer

A garnishment is an action to collect a judgment. In most jurisdictions, a judgment is required prior to requesting a garnishment order from the court.
A garnishment is also specific to the employer, who is the recipient of the order to withhold a portion of wages. However, in the case of an employee leaving that employer, the employer will report that fact to the court and/or to the judgment creditor, and therefore the creditor will (when they discover the new employer), probably move to garnish that employer as well.
For more specific details, consult an attorney in your state. If you don't have an attorney, call your local or state bar association for a referral.

No your garnishment will follow you to you new place of employment. A garnishment is a judgement not specifically to an employer. The garnishment is a judgement against you, therefore, until it is paid it will stay with you.
