I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'move heavily' is the definition.
'trudge' can be an answer for 'move' (trudging is a kind of moving). I'm not sure about the 'heavily' bit.

'red tug managed' is the wordplay.
'managed' is an anagram indicator.
'red'+'tug'='redtug'
'redtug' anagrammed gives 'TRUDGE'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
