My tomato seedling have been flourishing. I moved them to a slightly sunnier spot and now I’m not sure if it’s a pest or the sun or the soil Thats causing them to yellow.

to me it looks like terrible overwatered potting mix. You can even see moss growing on it

Up pot plus the damage is from leaf miners

You have leaf miners but these can still thrive. Up-pot them ASAP and try not to overwater. Be sure the soil mix you use to up-pot has some readily nutrients like earthworm castings or compost tea.

A lot going on here. They need to be potted up. Into larger pots with more soil. They need ferts. They have leafminers but that’s mostly cosmetic. Not sure your weather but you mention moving them into sunnier location, right by a white wall that’s prob reflecting heat and could be stressing them out further.

1. Remove the bottom leaves that have leaf miners.
2. Repot into organic potting mix. Plant then deeply, try to bury the majority of the stem.
3. Gove them lots or real sun.
4 . Spray with diluted Neem late afternoon every other week.
5. Fertilusmze with organic fertilizer evert 10 days.
6. Dont over-water.

The white curly stuff is leaf miner damage. A little bad but you have a bigger problem which is nutrition. Either there’s none in the soil or your roots are unable to uptake.
