So it says 120 ft. range. Is the range still 120 ft. after it has been cast? If i want to move a foe straight up, can i go past 120 ft.(60ft per turn).

Thanks

I would say it's unlimited after creation (although if you can't see it, you're going to have trouble controlling it effectively.)

Spell range normally just refers to where you can target when you cast it; when a spell creates something, it usually says specifically if the created effect winks out when leaving the area or is unable to leave the area or the like, and Bigby's Hand has no such limitation.

That's what i thought. But now it still only moves 60 ft/turn, right? Lets say i dash to an enemy 100 ft away i cant attack him with the hand can i ? Would it take 2 turns to get the hand up to me?

It doesn't automatically move with you, so if you want to hit someone 70+ feet away from it you're going to have to spend multiple turns moving it towards them, yes.
