You can use movefile function in a button, here called move_file, two edit fields, one for the file to move, the other for the destination path, and create the function handlers as follows:

% Callbacks that handle component events
methods (Access = private)
    
    % Button pushed function: move_file
    function move_filePushed(app, event)
        movefile(app.file_name.Value,app.new_path.Value)
    end
    
    % Value changed function: file_name
    function file_nameValueChanged(app, event)
        value = app.file_name.Value; 
    end
    
    % Value changed function: new_path
    function new_pathValueChanged(app, event)
        value = app.new_path.Value;
    end
end
