How do I move notes from “on my iphone” to iCloud?

I have an iPhone 14 iOS 17.5.1

I recently realized that my notes app is only syncing about 40 of my 940 notes. I did some searching on the forum here and found one little tidbit indicating that I needed to have iCloud selected as the default account. I changed that setting. However, there doesn’t appear to be any way to move all those notes to the iCloud account. When I click select notes, move all the only option that appears is a new folder in the same “on my iPhone” account. Nothing is clickable in the iCloud account folder. Is there an easy solution?
