You typically start out by reading the "find" manual page, then construct a find command to find al the files that need moving, and then move them using xargs or a for loop or backticks or whatever.

this sounds an awful lot like homework, as have a number of other posts. look at the find manpage and you'll see it's pretty easy anyway.
