You can copy the database from one Azure SQL server to other SQL server using Azure portal, powershell, CLI or even through T-SQL. Refer the MS document to do this. If you want database to be moved and not to be copied, then you can delete the database in source server once it is copied to destination server.

There is no way to directly move the database from 1 server to another.

You need to copy /clone the db from 1 server to another and then delete the original one.

To copy the database, there are multiple ways

Powershell :

New-AzSqlDatabaseCopy -ResourceGroupName "<resourceGroup>" -ServerName $sourceserver -DatabaseName "<databaseName>" `
    -CopyResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" -CopyServerName $targetserver -CopyDatabaseName "CopyOfMySampleDatabase"
