Yes, any changes made within Dropbox will sync to all other connected computers. There's no other way to revert a change like that without it syncing. Even if you were to rewind the account to a specific day, all the changes would need to sync to the conencted comptuers.
Your best course of action is to simply move the folder back and allow the changes to sync.
Hi @Walter, happy Friday for you too!
The machine that made mistake is syncing from the begenning and the other machines are all 'Up to date', so the mistake is not affected to the others.

Dropbox StaffHi again thara; how are you today?
Do you have any updates on the matter?
If your app is showing 'up to date' now, you can move those files back to their original location as desired.
Keep me posted please!
Okay, I simplify my question; what should I do when a huge dropbox folder has accidentially moved? I want to revert immediately as if nothing has happened.
