If you are moving a whole topic, I don’t think the message option will appear. Instead, you can use the same topic admin wrench icon at top right corner of the topic you want to move to pm, but instead of “Select Posts” click/tap “Make Personal Message”.

If you are moving a some selected posts in a topic, then the new message option will appear in the move posts modal.
