One or more tabs being moved contain workspace references. All referenced tabs will be moved as part

So what does that mean ….seem like I can not move anything with that note.

Make a copy of your document, try it, see what happens! :)
It just means that the tab you are moving to another doc has other tabs that depend on it, so for example if you were moving a part to another document and you had a drawing of that part in another tab then, if the part moved and the drawing stayed, the drawing would fail, because the part wasn't there any more. So Onshape will move the part and the drawing into the new doc.
Well, in my experience this note means you can still move the part if you really want to, but be prepared to be left with an even bigger mess than when leaving this part in it's inappopriate location.
I find this situation annoying, even if there is a logical explanation. There are situations where I have designed a part as part of a certain project and only later find out I might need it in another place or even for another project. Then, one would possibly want to move a certain part to it's own document for later use. Now, it dosen't work that easily. It gets even more confusing, if something has been designed in context, with a reference to the part moved. You never know what will be moved along with the part in question.
Since I tried this a few times with limited success, I try to remember always designing supplier parts and such in their own documents from the ground up, but sometimes I forget, or I get such parts in imported files. One example of such are switches and buttons, which will get references to cutouts in some mounting plate rather sooner than later. In my opinion, it is usually easier and more sustainable, to recreate (maybe based on stripped down copy) these parts in their own workspace, and then replace in assemblies where they have been used.
Maybe it would be a good thing, if parts could be copy-moved, stripping their downstream references, keeping the original document intact, just to get around this.
You've selected movement sketch part studio to be moved. It depends on something else in this workspace ( either derived part studios or a feature studio with a custom feature). If you go ahead and move, the dependencies will move with it. You can try and then revert if you don't like the result. Move out and revert would also accomplish "copy move" .
thanks …..would be nice to have a dictionary of error, caution, flag notes…
caution,
