The answer you are looking for the UMAYYAD DYNASTY, but the question is operating backwards. The Umayyad dynasty was founded and the capital subsequently moved to Damascus, not the other way around.
The Umayyad dynasty began after the death of the fourth caliph, Ali, in 661 CE, marking the end of the Rashidun Caliphate. Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, the governor of Syria and a relative of Uthman, the third caliph, established the Umayyad dynasty by becoming the first Umayyad caliph. His rule centralized power in Damascus and expanded the Islamic empire significantly, setting the stage for a new era in Islamic history characterized by territorial expansion and administrative consolidation. The dynasty lasted until 750 CE, when it was overthrown by the Abbasids.

Damascus was the capital of the Umayyad Dynasty.
Expansion of the territories which could not be governed properly, cruelty of some of the Rulers, mutual killing for occupation of the rule, rising of the Abbasids against them are the factors which contributed to the fall of Umayyad dynasty.

The umayyad were overthrown by the Abbasid
When the Abbasid dynasty overthrew the Umayyad dynasty in 750 CE, they ordered the execution of many Umayyad leaders to eliminate any potential threats to their rule. This led to a significant purge, where members of the Umayyad family were hunted down. However, one notable survivor, Abd al-Rahman I, escaped to Spain, where he established the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba. The Abbasids also shifted the center of power from Damascus to Baghdad, fostering a new cultural and intellectual renaissance.
