Do you have vCenter Server, Right Click the VM and select Migrate.

or see my EE Articles

If you have a Licensed ESXi
HOW TO: "Live Migrate" VMware Virtual Machines between ESX/ESXi hosts and/or datastores for FREE without licenses for vMotion or Storage vMotion

otherwise complete a V2V

HOW TO: Synchronize changes when completing a P2V or V2V with VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.1

Or perform an Export to OVF, and an Import from OVF
