I downloaded and installed modules to public_html/modules. I want to move them to public_html/sites/all/modules. Will that screw anything up?

You can move all your contrib module(which you have downloaded from drupal.org) in public_html/sites/all/modules folder anytime it will not affect anything on your site. After moving may be you have run performance clear cache for some module otherwise it will work fine.

that didn't seem to work. i moved a few modules to public_html/sites/all/modules. Now some of the functions don't work because it can't find the modules. The modules directory didn't exist, so wondering if that is the wrong path.

That's the right path. You may also need to navigate to site building -> modules, which updates all modules in the system table to the correct path. If this doens't work, you'll need to manually update the system table in the database.

It will work. all contributed modules (modules which are not in core) has to be installed there. run update script (you can see top part of modules page- just above module list) and clear cache - performance - clear cache.
