"Well then, maybe it's time we all moved on".
Why he says "moved on" and not "move on"?
Both are possible.
Moved makes it counterfactual (in the same way as "if we moved on") - it implies "we haven't moved/aren't moving on, but what about if we did!"
Move is not counterfactual - it is not saying anything about whether or not we are already moving on.
Because these are both really about the future, the difference in meaning is slight.
