When you move a paragraph in a document that includes text with a footnote, what happens to the footnote reference?

Answer: the reference is automatically renumbered to keep the footnotes in consecutive order.

How it is supposed to work is that provided the footnotes were inserted correctly using the Reference tab and then click on insert footnote, then these notes will also be moved with the text. As long as the selection includes the footnote reference in the text, moving the text will also move notes as well.
