Move money from individual stocks to ETFs?

I have always maintained a good mix of individual stocks and broad fund-based investing with a DCA plan. The stocks are largely the big US players - FAANG, airlines, pharmaceutical, banks, and other well-known companies along with some niche ones. As expected, the big ones (especially tech) have done well over the last 5 years or so, which means I have some decent long-term gains.

Wondering if this might be a good time to offload some of the individual stocks and just sit back and DCA into index funds. Any thoughts or suggestions on the value of holding on to stocks through a this market turmoil vs going broader and hopefully getting less impacted when big swings occur - which could be a thing for the foreseeable future?
