Albums are really just indexes point to the original photos, so there is nothing to move. As themodernlad indicated, you would create a new album, and select the photos you want in it. Modify the other album as you wish. And note that this will only work for albums you have created on the iPad itself. If you have sync'd albums from iTunes, then you can't modify them on the iOS device.



Create a new album

Go to Albums on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and tap User uploaded file. On your Mac, click My Albums > User uploaded file> Album. Enter an album name, then choose the photos and videos that you want to organize in the new album.

On your Mac, you can also select the photos you’d like to add to an album, control-click, then choose Add to > New Album.



Add to an existing album

On your iPhone, tap Select and tap the photos and videos that you want to add. Tap Add To and choose the album. On your Mac, you can simply drag photos into an album from the Sidebar.



Manage your albums

If you want to change an album name, select the album, then enter a new name. You can rearrange your albums too: just select and hold the album and drag it to the place you want.



From this support article: Organize and find your photos - Apple Support (Note that even though Apple pushes iCloud Photo Library throughout this article, it is not required to do any of the functions outlined. iCloud Photo Library is a service that is designed to sync photos among all of your devices and computers that are signed into the same iCloud account, so if you don't have multiple places you need to sync your photos to, then you don't need iCloud Photo Library.).
