Is it possible that it is affected by neighbours' plants or weedkiller? Many thanks for any advice.

If you moved it, you lost/damaged a lot of the small filamentous roots, even some of the fat rhizomes. The roots can no longer support all of the above ground plant. Ideally you should have removed some of the culms, or trim some of them to a lower height, removing perhaps half of the above ground material, when you moved it. Other people on this forum have suggested a partial deleafing the culms. I don't know if it is too late. But it sounds like it is now doing this for you. It will take some time for it to regrow as splendid as it was before.
If it is Fargesia nitida, it could be flowering and dying as said before.
Tell us how you get on in a few months time.
