Are there risks/dangers/gotchas involved with moving large amounts of money between index funds in a retirement account?

I was thinking of rebalancing my 500 index and total market index funds in my retirement account. It occurred to me that, while the process is easy enough as to almost feel like I'm transferring money between two savings accounts, I'm in actuality selling and buying $100k+ of assets. As such, I figured I should double check if there's any possibility of something going catastrophically wrong in the simple scenario of me selling a whole bunch of FXAIX, and immediately buying an equal amount of FSKAX.

I'm USA based, and I would be doing this within in a couple roth and trad 401k rollover ira accounts. Money would not be moved between the accounts, I'm just talking about rebalancing the holdings within each account.
