First thing, do not redirect your whole website to new domain in one go... Page by page redirect is far better for good user experience.

There is is very high possibility of losing traffic and ranking after redirection.... but don’t worry, this traffic will bounce back to normal very soon.

Redirect one by one pages to new domain pages. Same time do the link building for new page url. Also create new xml and submit.

Well Do Not Redirect the whole site at once, Make 301 Redirect URL TO URL!! After Completing The Redirect Make New Sitemap and Submit this Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tool!
