I would, because otherwise the non-quoted bit has no concluding punctuation mark, but always think that it looks a bit odd.

Only one ending punctuation would be needed.
She moved towards him and said "Don't do that again." or
She moved towards him and said "Don't do that again!"
But if the punctuation of the sentence is different from the quote the punctuation goes after the quotation marks.
Did she move towards him and say "Don't do that again"?
