It`s a idiom problem.Here the idiom is From x To y. And,"moving itself" doesn't work, unless the company is trying to dance.

in this kind of context, you may need to use "__self/ves" for verbs that REQUIRE an object.

e.g.,

• "move" does NOT require an object, though it's possible to use one. (i.e., you can move something... but you can also just move.)
so, "move yourself/itself/themselves" will generally be redundant, unless there's a very compelling reason, in terms of style and/or emphasis, to use it. (Neither style nor emphasis is tested on this exam, so any exceptions are irrelevant.)

• "remove" MUST take objects. (you can remove things/people from a situation. you cannot, however, "remove from a situation".)
so, since it's impossible to write "i removed from the ballot", we write "i removed myself from the ballot" instead.
