When a new lord took over a manor were the serfs were set free to farm as they pleased on their own fiefs?
Serfs did not have fiefs. They were bound to the soil and not allowed to leave it. The arrival of a new lord did not change this. Nevertheless, the serfs were largely free to farm as they pleased. The condition of the serfs was not slavery, but a different sort of thing governed by a sort of contract in which the serfs and the lords each had obligations to the other. The serfs had to pay rent in some form, labor, part of the crop, or money. For his part the lord had to provide a place to live, fields to farm, and protection in such difficult times as war or famine. The serfs were not allowed to leave the land, and the lords were not allowed to force them off of it. The serfs had reeves to organize them. The reeves were also serfs and were often elected by the serfs on a manor. The reeves decided how the serfs would be organized for their common labor, what fields would be tilled and what crops planted, and what parcels would go to which family for their own use.
What code do the serfs follow?
Serfs had obligations to their lords, usually to work the lands and provide food. In exchange for this, they got a place to live and work, and a measure of protection and security. They were legally bound to the land and were not allowed to leave it; the other side of this is that the lord was not allowed to put them off either because that was part of the security he had to provide. Serfs had obligations to church and God. They attended church, prayed, and believed they would be appropriately rewarded in the afterlife.

Have serfs ever traveled?
Serfs in Europe were not allowed to leave the manor which they were tied to unless given permission by their lord. If they were caught leaving they were severely punished. Does this mean none of them traveled at all? Of course not and I'm sure there are instances of escape to freedom. As a whole however, serfs did not really travel. Have they "ever traveled" yeah, of course. If I could think of an instance of mass travelling serfs, at least widely, I'd think of indentured servants. While these were not serfs, they came to America and essentially became serfs who payed their passage to the Americas by working for seven years. They were pretty much slaves, just like serfs.
