IC, how to move Oracle database files is documented in the DBA Administration manual. Basically:

Take the tablespace that is associated with the file offline

Copy the existing file to the new location using appropriate OS copy function

Using either the alter tablespace rename datafile or alter database rename datafile commands (See SQL manual) rename the files in Oracle

Bring the tablespace back online, access. If successful remove the old file at the OS level

The procedure varies for the system tablespace. See the manuals. Be sure to watch your typing carefully while doing this.
