Hi all my question is I have just moved everything in to a slightly bigger tank my live sand and rock and topped up water with fresh salt water to the water that was in the old tank I was 1 week in to my cycle will this be ok or will it start over again ? Cause damage etc ?

It will be just fine. Depending on what your ammonia source was you may see a little spike. As long as you don't have fish in your system it is all good.
 
I agree
As long as you used a majority of the old tanks water and live rock you should be fine
May have an initial spike in water quality
But it will level out after a few weeks
I'd do a second water change a week after you switched tanks
