Take a deep breath, and relax.

Go to the Accounts tab.
Choose an account to move, right click and select Edit Account.
This opens a box. In mine, at the bottom right, is a box with a name
like "parent".
Find where the account should be in the account tree, and move it.
For example, you might put the Cheque account under "Assets".

Make sure its right, and save.

If you still get it wrong, you can move things again.
