Here's a few hints of what you'll need.
Get an APi instance with:
var api = new mw.Api();
Get an edit token with:
api.getToken('edit');
Move a page with:
api.post({
from: ...,
to: ...,
reason: "...",
noredirect: true,
token: edittoken
});
Note that api methods are async and return a jQuery "promise".
