Keep in mind that below approach works only within the site
collection level. I mean to say here is it is not
possible to move the documents between libraries across site collection
levels.
The best approach to move the documents between the libraries along with versioning is using “site
content structure” option.
Note: But one thing we should keep in mind that versioning shoould be enabled in both the source and destination document libraries.

Steps to move the documents between document libraries:
Step1: Go to Site Actions -> Site Settings. Under “Site Administration” click “Content
and structure”
Step2: Find the source library and select the all or any
specific documents you want to move and then click “Actions”à Move.
That’s it. Now, go and visit the destination document
library. You will get the moved documents along with its versioning’s.
One
thing I observed here is, along with the documents versioning, metadata
also would came.
I have a created a source document library and created 3
custom columns with different types. Uploaded the new document along with the
metadata and then moved this document to destination library.
In addition to the versioning in destination
library what ever the columns available in source got created the same in destination( means 3 custom columns which are all created by me on source
library are also available in destination library).
