ECDSA and Quantum Computers

Just wanted to understand the following...

If Quantum Computers arrive eventually that can break ECDSA, we could just fork in advance to a new Digital Signature Algorithm?

Would this require old Bitcoin UTXO's to be moved to new addresses supporting the new Quantum resistance DSA?

This would leave all of the old lost coins and Satoshi coins available to Quantum hacking even for upgraded coins with new DSA's?
