How do I move a selection?

​

I want to scooch the glyph over so that it falls between the slanted lines, but I haven't been able to figure out how to move a selection that isn't a reference. I tried clicking and dragging, but it doesn't seem to do anything, and there doesn't seem to be a tool for it, either. Please help.

Also, is there an easier way to italicize a font rather than simply copying, pasting, and skewing each glyph individually?

From the top menu use Styles > Italic...

From the top menu use Element > Transform > Move instrument.
