Here, the important verbs we need to remember are:
Be
Do
Past tense of Be:
Was
Were
Past tense of Do:
Did
When did you move to Los Angeles?
Did = past tense of Do.
So, we don't have to use the past tense of the verb 'move'.
We should not say 'moved' if we have already used the past tense of Do.
In the answer, there is no 'do'. We should not say 'did' in the answer.
We should use the past tense of the verb 'move'. So we should say 'moved'
I moved here 10 years ago.
I spoke English.
I didn't speak English.
I spoke English. - change the verb into the past tense

Usually, if we are not confirming something, we do not use 'did' in a positive answer.
We usually only use 'did' in short answers that do not have the other verb.
For example:
Wife: I don't think you cleaned the house when I was at work. [发怒]
Husband: I did clean the house! [流泪]
