 Silkworm Cocoon HELP!!! ASAP!!!

Hey guys it’s Ryan. I have raised my silkworms through a healthy life and now they are in their cocoons. I have super carefully, taken the cocoons out of the cage with my hands and moved them to a new enclosure. The cocoons might have been disturbed when I had to take them off of the walls, because there was silk attatched to the wall, so I carefully pulled it, and cut off the danglin silk. Will handling the cocoons mess them up? Will it hurt them? And how long does it take for the cocoons to hatch? Thanks for the help-

-Ryan
