I recently moved a 6 ft. butterfly bush and pruned it late April...It is not showing any signs of regrowth. Did I kill it?

I'm guessing you planted it too low meaning lower than it was previously.

To tell if it is still alive take a pruning shears and cut one branch about six inches from the end.  If it is alive you should see a faint green layer between the the outside bark and the inside white woody plant material.  If it is truly dead then there will be no green layer.
