First of all, you don't need multiple IP addresses to host multiple web sites. It's done by using Host Headers. Explanation of Host Headers: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190008 Visual How-To: http://www.visualwin.com/host-header/
Now then... those just showed you how to "create" a site as well, which is what you need to do on the new server. Then, just copy the folder that contains the site to wherever you designated the "home directory" path when you created the site. To find out which folder to copy, look at the web site properties on the current server and see what it's "Home Directory" is.
If the site is ASP, then you'll have to activate ASP in IIS: http://www.visualwin.com/ASP/
If the site uses a database, then it gets MUCH more complicated and you should hire someone who has experience with this to move it for you.
