Moving the car, or even putting wieght on the bearing without the axle in and bolted will DEFINITELY cause bearing problems. The bearing races are slightly angled, and tension from the axle bolt is what keeps everthing together. Without the axle bolted tight the bearing inner races can and will move outward, causing the play you've noticed. This will damage the bearings themselves and the races.
