Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Scrotum has got a muscle called dartos that contracts and relaxes based on temperature changes.
So, the testes contained within, may also change its position based on the scrotum. I am not worried, but if you are, you may get examined.
It is not related to colonoscopy.
Best regards
