Did you do any searches yourself on this subject? I found this KB in the first search I conducted, which was second on the list.

Only full VMs can be storage vMotion in vCenter.

Linked Clones and Instant Clones cannot be storage vMotion. Edit the pool to use the new datastores and perform a rebalance for linked clones.

so I can just svmotion the desktops to another datastore. Do I need to change anything in the horizon manager pool?

It depends on the type of VM. Can you tell us what they are? Full VMs/full clones, linked clones, instant clones?
