Hello Deepak,

You can move Notes and Attachments from One Account to another Account using clone method. The example code will look like below code.
  
List<Attachment> attList = [Select Id, Name, Body FROM Attachment Where ParentId='Your Old Account Id'];
List<Attachment> clonedAttachmentList = new List<Attachment>();
For(Attachment a : attList){
    Attachment att = new Attachment();
    att = a.clone(false, false, false, false);
    att.ParentId = 'Your New Account Id';
clonedAttachmentList.add(att);
}
If(clonedAttachmentList!=null && clonedAttachmentList.size()>0) insert clonedAttachmentList;
If(attList!=null && attList.size()>0) delete attList; // if you want to delete.

Also, visit below link for clone method.
