The error code 409 MissingMoveResources is documented in the Azure SQL VM REST API documentation as:

409 MissingMoveResources - Cannot move resources(s) because some resources are missing in the request.

So, going by the error details posted above, it does mean that the Virtual Machine you're looking at is linked to a SQL Virtual Machine. The easiest way would be to verify it from the Portal itself:

As seen in the screenshot above:

Presence of the SQL Server Configuration tab under the Settings blade, and
Publisher being MicrosoftSQLServer

confirm the same.

Therefore, you'd have to know the associated SQL Virtual Machine and include that as well in your request to complete the move operation successfully. You can get to the SQL VM by accessing the SQL Server configuration tab.
