Building a bedroom in attic, need to move studs back but afraid of roof falling in.

It is very expensive to move a load bearing wall, proper beams and supports have to be in place.

You will need to have a professional come in and give you estimates to do it

What is length of rafter?

Where is wall located on length of rafter from ridge down?

What is location of collar ties from ridge down?

What is pitch of roof?

Answer these questions and we will be able to help u.

You likely need to pull a permit and this could force you to get an architect or structural engineer drawings and stamp. I would not fell comfortable giving you further advice unless I could see your blueprints, this usually is not a DIY job

I would have to see the exact situation, but I think it would be a fairly simple project. I deal with Amish work crews all the time. Depending on how big the room is, they would probably have the walls moved ( and possibly drywalled) in 1 day or less. They are very fast and efficient workers.

I agree with ballengerb1 though. Depending on where you live you will probably have to deal with permits, architects, etc. In this area, we don't have to deal with that as much as other areas.
