You can't move files to a different Document Type, but you can edit each file individually to move them to a particular Document Type.

Think of Document-type as field for a file like title, description etc, albeit a special one. Document types are not folders.

Or else you can write code to change the Document-type for more that one file, but that would be quite an effort.
