crepe mytle trees transplanted

Question

Thank you for your help in advance. Moved my crepe myrtle trees and separated them. Replanted them in early spring. Trees still alive as I had scratched bark high up to see if they were still green. They have not produced any leaves and it is now July. Is there anything I can do to force them to leaf out? They are all in sunny locations but used to be in somewhat shaded areas of yard but didn’t produce much bloom. Help. The trees are about 10-12′ tall and would love for them to bloom.
