a vmware viertual machine is a bunch of files in a folder typically named like the guest and the vmx-file which is the config has even a version, so just copy/move the folder in which way you ever want (scp, vmotion, drag&drop in the webui froma host which has both storages mounted)

power the guest off, deregister it and after have it on the new location register the guest with the vmx file and power it on - in case you are asked if it got copied or moved say "moved" to avoid changing of MAC on virtual NICs

that's it unless you move to a *older* version and the virtual machine has a newer vmx-version not supported there
