Narrative:
The aircraft rolled suddenly as a result of turbulence; twice; the autopilot remained engaged. ATC issued an offset; since wake turbulence was suspected. The distraction; which occurred as the pilot monitoring (pm) was working through a runway change as we descended via; led to the delayed completion of the descent checklist.ATC offered an offset left off course; which we accepted. The pm made an announcement to the cabin and programmed the offset. The pilot flying made a heading change in the direction of the issued offset. The descent checklist was completed prior to glide-slope intercept.
