I am building a PC for the first time I have Windows 10 on my current PC but I have no disk drive in my new case. First should I do something to my drives? all my stuff is on my HDD right now but I bought a 500GB SSD for new build and want most of my stuff on that. Sorry I am new to all this so any help is appreciated!
Building new PC today, how do I get windows to new PC with no disk?

Assuming you have a working other PC, go here and create your own USB installer thing:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Have you purchased a Windows 10 license for this new system?

Well...you have 1 Windows license, and seemingly 2 systems.
You can only use that on one PC at a time.
You can probably transfer the license to the new PC, but that leave your existing one without an OS license.
Also, you probably can't just 'transfer' the OS (and everything else) from your current system to the new one, and expect it to boot up.
It probably won't.
Your new PC needs its own OS.
