I find dicentra pretty indestructible. Just make sure you keep watered
until re-established.
But, in a perfect world, I'd wait to move them until they are just emerging
next spring. It's usually pretty cool weather still and they can adjust
without dealing with heat (in Oregon, anyway).
The only problem with moving them now is they are due to die back soon and
you'll wonder if you killed them or if they're going into their natural
state of dormancy.
But if you have to move them now, I would.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
