No. but you can move data. This article can be useful for that:

Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud – Apple Support


And you can use family sharing to share some of the purchases. You need to have the old apple ID in a family sharing group.

Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing - Apple Support


Good luck!
