You could set the 'visible' property of that sprite to false.
sprite(x).visible =FALSE
or set the visible of sprite x to FALSE
alternatively you could relocate it off the stage by setting its locH/locV
(or just loc point) to extremely negative numbers (-1000, -1000). Effect
to the user is the same.

Use the 'random' function to make new numbers. Apply them to the locH and
locV (or just loc point). I assume because you said 'move' you want them
to incrementally relocate (as opposed to just appearing somewhere else).
Test the result to see if it exceeds the boundary of whatever area you want
to constrain it to. If so, apply different numbers to move it off, or
regenerate until you get some that are safe. Depends on what you want it
to do - how you want it to react. If you want it to "bounce off" a wall,
that's a different behavior than if you just want it to crawl around.
