The flattening of the leaves downward is a natural thing bananas do when they have too much sun. You don't have to do anything to them, they just do this during the day, and come back at night/morning. Nothing to worry about. The yellowing on the second picture may be due to either too much water or too much fertilizer. I'd hold back a bit on both, but don't let it get excessively dry if it's hot/sunny during the day. Bananas can handle a lot of water if it's hot/humid.

If you ask me, I'd say hold off on fertilizer for a bit, but let everything else continue. Sun may cause leaf burn initially when plants are moved out/transplanted into more light then they are used to. They may even get torched/sunburnt and leaves will get fried, but the new foliage will come out adapted to it and will be perfect without need for shade cloth, etc.
