Is there a way to bulk edit using Regex to move the series info to the series field and leave author in authors field.

Also, Title/Series in Title field.

Example: Buckley, Michael - [Sisters Grimm 01] - The Fairy-Tale Detectives

or: [Earth's Children 06] - The Land of Painted Caves

or: The Wishing Horse Of Oz - Oz 29

Don't know much about Regex but willing to learn

Thanks in advance,

Yes, you can bulk edit with search and replace in a bulk metadata edit screen (hit "E" after selecting multiple books). If you've just added them, you might prefer to just delete them, and add them a bit more carefully, rather than try to clean up the mess, but it's up to you. You can do a lot of damage with Search and Replace on an existing library if you aren't careful. It's harder to damage a library with Adding Books, and both methods need some regex skill.
