It's natural for some of the roots to dry up when you switch from sphagnum to bark. The roots aren't adapted to the dryer environment and will eventually die. You don't need to worry as the orchid should put out new roots soon. I usually recommend adding a layer of sphagnum moss on top of the bark to keep some moisture around the roots.
