Trying the "vi" thing :P .

This happens after i hit enter "vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mymoves.list":

And nothing happens if i try to write stuff. If i press "d" though it says "Delete 1 lines (1 chars) using [D]".
LOL you're in Vi, but it's not the easiest editor to get used to.
Certainly one of the more powerful ones though, once you master it.
Try pico/nano instead...

Are you root, change to root if you're not, if you can't try to use sudo to execute:
pico /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mymoves.list
