What you need to move..? If its files then post few sample file-names to get an idea how your file looks like. If not please detail your objective.

you can try something like below

prevdate=`date -d '1 day ago' +%Y%m%d`;

find <search_path> -name $prevdate -type d ! -newermt `date +%Y%m%d` -exec mv -f '{}' <destination_dir> \;
