That depends on whether or not you've checked the "copy files to my library folder" box in iTunes' preferences. If so, then the file is in your library and you can move that copy out of downloads. If it is not checked, you must either copy it in manually or not move it, since iTunes has now basically pointed to it and cannot find it if it moves.
