It depends what you mean by movement and what for. If you want Anime Type movement Draw the Character a Anime Character Change it slightly save as a brush and you can use that for movement. If you mean something like Speedlines than a motion blur is what you. Or a pushed Back Movement Effect go to Radial Blur Zoom 100 Quality Best. Or if you want a Rotating Planet with movement all you need to do is play with the light to get a shadow over effect or light effect. Or say you do want to move a planet to make it look like its spinning with continents going round make a duplicate layer and choose free rotate (Make many identical Layers for this option.) this is another good Method. For Sword Fights Draw a sword in the hand of the Character and duplicate the sword and hand layer and free rotate it.(Make lots of Layers and You may want to patch it up after the free rotate as this can lower the quality. At the end of the day its all practice makes perfect. I know you only asked for Swords But I thought more examples might help.
