How to move an azure app service to a new shared app service plan


I have been banging my head against a wall for this one. I originally would deploy every app service (wordpress, database) etc under their own app service plan for organization. It has been costing me a fortune since I do not take advantage of the resources and should be hosting multiple sites per app service plan. Live and learn!

So I recently created a new app service plan with plenty of vcpus and ram to host about 10 sites. I have put this app service plan under the same region as most of my apps. When I go to my app services and select change app service and select the drop down , the new app service plan I created for sharing is not in the list. So is it not possible to move an app service to a new app service plan in a different resource group or does this have to be done on creation of the app service?

If its not possible what is my best route for cloning my app service and then redeploying it with the shared app service plan?
