#2: Initial revision
It depends on who said "Move!". If it is the person sidestepping, then no. But then you should have written "Move!" I said, and immediately sidestepped him. if the person sidestepping is responding to somebody else that said "Move!", which appears to be the case here, then YES, you need a new paragraph. It is fine to combine a single character's speech and action on the same line if they occur close in time, either simultaneously or sequentially. But not one character's speech and **_another_** character's actions.
