My parakeet laid eggs, I moved her. Are the exposed eggs still viable?

My parakeet laid eggs and i moved her thinking she was in distress (did not know she was on eggs). Now one of the eggs is exposed and not under her. Did i ruin this success?

If you don't have a male parakeet along with your female, then the eggs are not viable anyway and should be removed. If you're attempting to raise a clutch, I would make sure the egg stays in the nest in the hopes she moves it back over and sits back on it.
