Moving a business' location in OSM? (sopuli.xyz)

I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.

I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?

Check OpenStreetMap (e.g. using MapComplete.org) if the data there is correct. If it is, update Organic Maps or the maps in Organic Maps. (I'm more of an OsmAnd person, so don't know how that is done)
