How frog move?

If you're talking about the actual locomotion:

There are a lot of ways that frogs move around. Arboreal species (treefrogs) usually have sticky pads on their fingers and toes which they use to grip vertical surfaces - this is why frogs can sit for hours on windows. They leap from branch to branch.

Flying frogs (not kidding!) do not really fly, but have greatly enlarged hands and feet with webbing between fingers and toes, and they jump off branches and parachute around the canopy.

There are other uses for webbing, and many frogs have transformed the standard hand and foot into flippers. Some species ie. African Clawed Frog are almost entirely aquatic.

Ground-dwelling frogs usually leap along, but many ground-dwelling toads and 'toadlets' or small frog species ie Crinia tend to walk or run by moving their legs in sequence rather than hopping.
