    It sounds like they may be dampening off. This article will help you fix that:

    They may also not be getting enough light. You can try supplementing light with a florescent bulb placed close to the seedlings.

    You can treat it like a plant you bought at a nursery, so you can leave it as is. Simply plant the roots into the soil. There should be a pale part above the roots on the stem, plant it about 1" deeper than this. Water it frequently for a week or so until it is established.

    They have had too much nitrogen. Plants grown for grocery stores are forced to grow quickly with extra fertilizer. It makes them look nice but the smell and flavor is sacrificed. Give them a little time and the smell will return. Just don't fertilize them so that their growth comes back into balance with their flavor compounds.

    Dill does not transplant well, so I suspect that it is in transplant shock. It may pull through, but you may want to just start dill seeds straight into the container you wish or grow them in as well.
