I want to extend my Encrypted LVM to the adjacent free space, I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions in VirtualBox and find that if the adjacent free space is in the front of LVM all data will be lost if you do the extending with the fdisk follow the article, so will I need to move the partition to the front of the free space before I enlarge the real disk? How do that or do you have advice?

You can use KDE Partition Manager 3.0 (available on 17.04) which supports LVM. Moving partitions is not really possible from command line.

Tools like GParted or KDE Partition Manager have some own code to copy data to another place in disk, they don't use libparted for that.
