Moving a business' location in OSM? (sopuli.xyz)

I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.

I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?

At least on the id editor (which you are probably using) you can copy all the info at once, delete it , and make a new location then copy the info. When I am on my computer I will check exactly how.
