To keep your edits, the safest approach is to reorganize the files from inside Lightroom. Create the date-based folders in Lightroom, then drag the photos into those folders in the Library module. Lightroom will move the files on disk and keep the catalog links and edits intact.

If you only have a small number of photos, doing this manually in Lightroom is straightforward.

For a large batch, you can automate the folder move outside Lightroom using a tool like ExifTool to place files into folders based on capture date, then update Lightroom by right-clicking the parent folder and syncing or reconnecting the moved folders. However, this is riskier than doing it directly in Lightroom because Lightroom must be told where the files went.

You can also make organizing easier by using Lightroom’s metadata filters to group images by date, and optionally rename files so the capture date/time is visible in the filename.

In short: if preserving edits is the priority, do the folder moves inside Lightroom whenever possible.
