Well it is quite a large topic to cover. In your sentence "moving" is a present participle. A participial form of verbs used adjectivally when the action it describes is contemporaneous with that of the main verb of a sentence and also used in the formation of certain compound tenses. For further information, please search this forum and you will find a lot of examples.
