You should specify path for the ls command
toMove=`ls /etc | grep -E "partition.[0-9]+"`

Do not use back ticks ``if its possible
toMove=$(ls /etc | grep -E "partition.[0-9]+")

and as paynam write: you try to move all file matching pattern partition.[0-9]+
to one singe file with this name partition.[0-9]_org

I think you try to move files like this partition.12 to partition.12_org or this partition.45465 to partition.45465_org
