There is something in PCB Menu like "Only Names" or "Lock Names". This
is related to refdes text.

If silk layer is deactivated you can not move the elements, this is
intended. You can move only things if all of it is visible.

For questions like these google may help, when you restrict the search
to this mailing list with search terms like

"site:geda.seul.org move refdes"

PCB manual or geda wiki may help too.
