It all depends on how big the star was, how far it was from us in the first instance, and also, more importantly, HOW much closer.

A star 1 million light years away, that moved 1% closer, you wouldn't see any difference.

Basically, a star would have to be VERY close to make any real visual difference.

How would the spectral lines of a star change when moving closer towards earth?

As a star moves closer to Earth, its spectral lines would appear blueshifted. This means that the wavelengths of the lines would be compressed and shifted towards the blue end of the spectrum due to the Doppler effect. Observers on Earth would measure the star's light as having shorter wavelengths compared to when the star is further away.
