No, you don't need to prune crape myrtle for transplanting. In fact, if sited correctly, they need little pruning. If you are moving your plants to a site with less sun, you may experience reduced flowering as well as powdery mildew. They do best in full sun in well draining soil.
Here are transplanting and pruning instructions:
