Accidentaly moved /lib to /run/lib

I made a mess :)

I was logged as root via SFTP and with a move of the mouse I moved /lib inside /run so the new path is now /run/lib
This is the output of the operation

Response: New directory is: "/"
Command: ls
Status: Listing directory /
Status: Directory listing successful
Status: Renaming '/lib' to '/run/lib'
Command: mv "lib" "/run/lib"
Status: /lib -> /run/lib
Status: Retrieving directory listing...

Is this what really happened? Just to confirm.
So do you think that I could ask the host (unmanaged VPS!!) to move the file back to its original location? Do you think they'll do and do you think they can even do it?
I can't basically log into anything anymore after I logged out last, when I still was logged via SSH I noticed that all the commands like "cp" "mv" etc weren't working anymore. Serial Console doesn't work either!

Is this solvable with a simple move back and reboot?

Thank you
