No, that will not work out for the fish.
Is the new tank going where the old one was? If not then the move can be gradual and quite easy. If the new tank is going where the old one was then it is best to set up a QT to hold your fish in while you move everything.

yea its going where the 20 is now and would a 5 gallon be big enough to house the three fish for that period of time?
