SUMMARY
The energy of an electron confined within infinite potential walls is determined by the distance L between the walls. When the infinite potential wall moves suddenly, the electron's energy is indeed affected. A relevant paper addressing this phenomenon is available at the following link: Lucas Tarr's Thesis.
