In my opinion, brumation and moving really shouldn't be related at all. If you intend to breed your skinks, they should be cycled prior to the mating season. There is some debate about how that should be done though. Cooling may or may not be required for some species, but a reduced photo period is almost certainly required for successful breeding.

If you are not breeding, I really wouldn't worry about it at all if you are going to be moving in the middle of the cooling period. Just continue to provide the proper temperature gradient throughout the year.
