The OP should also consider reading manual pages before asking for help. Both of these questions are fundamental and both are answered in their respective manuals.

Depending on others to provide answers is an excellent way to learn as little as possible. You will never achieve competency if you limit your exposure to correct answers provided by others. Much more is learned via research, experimentation, blunders, and dead ends.

And if after a few dead ends the answer is not found, there are experts here happy to help.

NAME
mvdir - move a directory SYNOPSIS
dir newdir DESCRIPTION
moves one directory tree into another existing directory (within the same file system), or renames a directory without moving it. dir must be an existing directory. If newdir does not exist but the directory that would contain it does, dir is moved and/or renamed to newdir. Otherwise, newdir must be an existing directory not already containing an entry with the same name as the last pathname component of dir. In this case, dir is moved and becomes a subdirectory of newdir. The last pathname component of dir is used as the name for the moved directory. refuses to move dir if the path specified by newdir would be a descendent directory of the path specified by dir. Such cases are not allowed because cyclic sub-trees would be created as in the case, for example, of which is prohibited. does not allow directory to be moved.
