I've never come across the concept of splitting a shrub or bush. Herbaceous perennials - yes, bushes - no.
You'd be better off taking cuttings as Spritz suggests.

Can't be split because its a shrub, as Beattie indicates.

Don't move it until it's dormant, which would be in late autumn onwards, (unless the ground is frozen).
I've never tried to split a Hydrangea, so I can't answer that, I'm afraid. However, it's very easy to take cuttings from them, if you want to increase the number in your garden.
