sorry, but your choice not to assign an account at import is a major
problem.

No, there are no ways to select multiple transactions and move them.


Best advice is to regard this as 'learning' and start again..
Import only a small number of transactions in each pass. Assign every
transaction to its account.
Then import another small group, and you will benefit from the learning
done the program.
