You can go into your settings > Downloads and create a new location for your library (makes future installs easier). Once you’ve done that, copy the game folder to your new location manually.

Is it possible to move games from one folder to another on Steam?
Yes it’s possible, but moving an already-installed game from it’s installed folder may be tricky.
