This is kind of a wild guess, but I'm pretty sure that this is your problem, so I'll give it a try.

Note that os.listdir returns a list of filenames only; it does not include the directory that was the parameter to os.listdir. I.e., you have to tell shutils.move where to find those files! Also, you might have to create the destination directory, if it does not yet exist. Try this:

import shutil, os
source = "/tmp/"
destination = "/tmp/newfolder/"
if not os.path.exists(destination):
    os.makedirs(destination)                 # only if it does not yet exist
for f in os.listdir(source):
    if f.endswith(".txt"):
        shutil.move(source + f, destination) # add source dir to filename
