Migration existing Virtual Machine Port Group and VMKernel Ports to new switch in vSphere 6

1. Currently I have my  "Virtual Machine Port Group" and  "VMKernel Port" all set up on  One Switch and this is creating a bottleneck.
In the vSphere (vCenter 6.0) Web Client How do I move over each Port Group and VMKernel Port to a separate new switch  without affecting the existing configuration or network in a production environment.   Each cluster has  about 4 - 6 hosts.
2. Also, is there a way I can save my current vCenter Configuration (esp.the network settings)  in case I want to revert back.

1. I use VROPS
2. The point I am trying to make here is,  after I create a new VMKernel Portgroup on a new switch,   what should be the IP Address? I mean can I use the same IP Address I had used in the default switch OR should I use a new IP Address.
3. Thanks for the backup configuration link -  I guess everything is using CLI but not thru Web Interface in vSphere 6.
