I moved a small acer successfully several years ago. In February, when the ground was not frozen, I went round the extent of the branches, plunging a spade in to its full depth. This had the effect of severing the roots while the plant was dormant. It was then successfully put in a pot in April and replanted in May, making sure it was well fed and watered for the rest of the growing season

Well I've read some questions in my time, but this is far too brief, really, so I shall have to attempt to join up the dots. Next time you ask a question, please be more explicit; without information, we can't answer properly.
If you want to move your acer, then do it now, keep a good rootball and water it well in its new position. This assumes your acer isn't a mature specimen which has been in situ for some time.
