I recently moved my seedling outside and as I started removing weeds and moving the soil I found several of these bugs, is it something I should worry about?

In case it matters, I moved some watermelons, pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers and plan on moving some other things.

It's a millipede. They usually aren't a pest, unless things are very wet and/or you've got a lot of woody mulch - in which case they are one of those things that may swarm and denude your plants at night, like earwigs.
