Ill just throw my support behind option 2. For internal moves like this, we found the SPO Migration tool great, pretty easy to use, and best of all free.

Thanks Ochs.
The issue I have with this issue is that I have to first download all the files before using the SPO Migration tool to move it. Is this the case as I don't see onedrive as source when tried using the tool

SMAT was developed for users to migrate files from an OnPrem File server to SharePoint online. It was not meant to migrate SharePoint online to SharePoint online. So, yea, if files exist in your OneDrive Library (SharePoint), then you would need to have them in a folder on your machine/server. This way your making it look like a file server, kinda.
P.S. Im sorry, i need to back and read , but why doesn't the "move" command work? Do you get errors even if you move 1 file at a time? Just wondering
