This moving message hangs iCal, even the menu items including Quit Calendar. My iCloud accounts includes two iPhone 4's, iPad 2, iPad, and iMac (OS X 10.9.1)
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iCal Version 4.0.4
Hello dennisfromfremont
Check out the articles below to troubleshoot your issue with iCloud merging calendars. You can try to export out the calendars individually, remove them and then import them in to iCloud Calendar groups.

i had the same issue recently. user melisolaris posted this and solved my problem:
1. Force quit iCal and Reminders.
2. On your computer, unlink Calendars and Reminders from iCloud:
> System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Calendars AND Reminders
(I did this because my Reminders uses my Calenders; I set deadlines for reminders, etc. Also, because my reminders weren't syncing with my iCloud as they should.)
3. It'll ask if you want to delete the calendar and reminder events from your computer. Say yes because you should already have the most up-to-date copy on your iCloud.
4. Open iCal. It should no longer display the "moving calendars to server account" message.
5. Add your iCloud account to iCal.
> Calendar > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
6. Give it a minute to update. You should see all your iCloud calendar events with no error message.
7. Quit iCal. Open Reminders.
8. Add your iCloud account to Reminders.
> Reminders > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
9. Test the two programs by adding test events and reminders to see if they show up on your iPhone and your Macbook.
All went well to step #4. Then decided to restart iMac. I went back to iCloud and found Reminders was still connected so un-checked and now I am back in charge of my iCal. Thanks!!!
Moving calendars to server account hangs as soon as iCal opens
