Bash will not do it if you want to update links - would be the same as
moving the files in your file browser.

Minimal python script would like something like the following (not tested)

#############################

from zim.fs import Dir
from zim.notebook import build_notebook, Path

mydir = Dir("/path/to/my/notebook/folder/")
notebook, x = build_notebook(mydir)

for pagename in (
    'page1', 'page2', 'page3:subpage'
):
    path = Path(pagename)
    newpath = Path("newparent:" + pagename)
    notebook.move_page(path, newpath)

#############################
