If it refers to the "flow of a musical line" it is the same as moving through space; time, flow, direction, that stuff. However, if it refers to a "movement of a piece" then it means one section of a multi-section work. It is analogous to one song of a concept album, like The Wall by Pink Floyd or Hemispheres by Rush (sorry, showing my age there).

A lot of Classical Music uses multi movement forms. For example: Classical and Romantic symphonies frequently have 4 or more "movements" in the work. Each movement has a beginning and end (usually) of its own; having a particular speed and emotional feel. Compared to prose the movement would be one chapter of a larger book or story.

A movement is a part of a piece that is distinguished from other movements by a significant change in the music. There is usually a pause or transition between movements.
