Actually, it does. It uses the available credit you have so when that goes down the credit score does too.

If you transfer all your credit card balance into your personal line of credit is it going to lower your credit score?
Probably slightly but just for a few months. Assuming you keep the credit card account open. I Factors that make score go up: overall you'll have more available credit so your debt to credit ratio will be lower because your credit card will now have 0 balance and therefore the entire limit of credit. Factors to make score go down: you are opening a new loan account and new accounts always hurt your score for the first few months. Additionally, you will be maxed out on the loan (technically the limit on a loan is the amount they lend you) until you start paying it down. A good mix of loan and credit cards is good for your score in the long run though.
Does maintaining a zero balance on your credit card hurt your credit score?
If you are charging and paying it off each month then it helps. If you never use the card then it really doesn't do much either way.
