Matter is composed of tiny particles, which, depending upon the type of matter, are either atoms or molecules. If they stick together firmly, you get a solid; if they have a moderate attachment to each other you get a liquid, and if they move completely independently of each other, you get a gas. There is always some degree of attraction between these particles, for any substance (which derives from electromagnetic forces). There is also always some degree of random thermal motion, whether the particles are just vibrating in place, or moving independently. The higher the temperature, the more random thermal you have. So, when the random thermal motion is strong enough, it can overcome the attraction between particles, and thereby cause a change of state. Or moving toward colder temperatures, the attraction between particles will at some point exceed the random thermal motion, and cause a change of state.

How matter moves from solid to liquid to gas?

Matter does not move from a solid, to a liquid, to a gas. It is more proper to say that it changes its state. At different temperatures, all matter changes its state because of the different levels of energy that are required for it to maintain certain states. At the lowest temperatures, matter is a solid. As the temperature is increased, it can change into a liquid, and ultimately a gas. There are even higher states like plasma that involves even higher temperatures, like those found in the sun.
