The plant will survive just fine. Flowering and making seed is actually stressful for a plant; add being transplanted to the stress level and the plant will suffer. So losing its bloom makes it easier to focus on good root development. Unfortunately, you will not get a "replacement" bloom for the one that snapped off but you should have a nice display next year.

It is lovely! I see lots of foliage so do you have other stems coming up? This spike won't get any taller, in fact, when the blooms are spent, if you deadhead the spike, you should get more. Let some of them go to seed so you will increase the number of lupines next spring.
