What is best depends on the situation you really have, in particular what you did in the meantime with the .bib file, and also where you save the various files. Are they on the same system? How and where did you move the folder? Did you move the linked files while the .bib file was open in BD? Did you save the .bib file after the files were moved, and in particular did you save it after the links were broken? Did you keep a backup of your .bib file where the links were still intact? (General rule in computing: You should always have backups of your important files). A thing you can try is to move back the linked file to where they were before, and see if the links in the .bib file after opening are working, perhaps in a backup. Probably the most important thing is that the relative path between the .bib file and the linked files is the same as what it was before. If that works, you can now move the linked files in a safe way. Perhaps you can also paste a Bdsk-File field from the .bib file, so we can figure out at least what relative path it expects.
