How would you do that?  It's not easy in many situations.

 , but is possible to move only a volume from a diskgroup to another without 
loosing data  ?

Entire disks belong to a disk group.  There's no easy way to segment an
existing disk so that some portion of the disk is part of one diskgroup
and the remainder is part of another.

Generally, you would migrate data so that all the data you wanted to
transfer (your volume in this case) was on a set of disks disjoint from
the data that you wanted to remain.

Then if you had the diskgroup split/join license (flashsnap), you could
split that disk to a new diskgroup.

If you read through the manual, you'll see that you cannot do this
without moving entire disks.

If you do not have the requisite license, this is not imposible, but it
is much more difficult.
