At the least you would need a USBC to USB adapter if using a USB cable.

or a Ethernet cable, but not as useful long term is The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple



The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205749


If that opportunity has past, the second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
