Bunny shies away from me after moving him, is he traumatized, what can I do?

My 4 month old bunny has been traumatized. I was going in to clean his cage, it’s a 12 foot (3.6 m) enclosure. I went to pick him up to put him in his temporary cage and he was fine a first but when I was going out the door with him, he tried to jump out of my arms. I grabbed him up and put him in his portable cage.

He seemed to settle down and when I first put him in his enclosure he seemed “OK”. Since then he been stand-off-ish. I didn’t think too much about it at first. But now I can see he is traumatized . He won’t engage with me at all. He shies away from me and kind of turns he back to me. What can I do? I haven’t tried anything yet because I just don’t know what to do.
