The best course of action would be to build new and move your parent VM's over to the new environment.

There are a lot of considerations.

First thing to do is to check the various compatibility matrices to ensure the supporting components (hardware, operating systems, sql server versions) are supported..  You may want (or need) to migrate to Server 2016, SQL 2014, for example.

If you are on vCenter 5.5 you're probably on the Windows version, if you upgrade to 6.5 you'll want to go with the appliance.. etc.

If you are on a View 5.x environment there is a good possibility that the latest vSphere does not support your hardware.  If you aYou may also need to upgrade zero clients, for example if you are on Tera1, they are no longer supported.

Most customers I work with on a View 5.x environment need to buy new hardware, so we just build a new vSphere/View environment on that new platform and migrate things over.
