Android Central Question

I'm using a Galaxy S5 Active and recently when trying to move apps to my sd card, they become corrupted. The transfer goes through smoothly but once I try to get into the app it instantly crashes and instead of having the app's original logo, it has the android logo instead. The apps I have on my sd card work fine. The problem is moving new apps to the sd.

Sounds like, as many many many many many many (you get the idea) posts here, your SD card has become corrupted or damaged. SD cards (and, in my experience, Samsung devices) tend to do that quite often, and that's why I'd suggest NOT using the card for apps or data you haven't backed up elsewhere. You can try re-formatting the card and moving things back, but chances are if it's failing and that works, it will only fail again...and soon.
