I have a normal table that has been created and have data in it. Is there a way to convert this table into partition table? OR create another partition table and move the data into that newly created partitioned table?

The easiest would be to create a new partitioned table, copy the data across, drop the old table and rename the partitioned table.
If you need to do it on-line, look at the DBMS_REDEFINITION package.
Another approach is to create a partitioned table and swap the table in as a partition of the new partitioned table. Command is: alter table ... exchange partition ... with table ...;
