how then I transfer the money from the wallet I created on https://www.bitaddress.org/  to another wallet?

There's two ways you could do this:

1. You can sweep the funds (send the funds from the first address to the second one by doing a transaction).
Pros: Safe, gets rid completely of the first wallet.
Cons: Transaction fees.
2. You can import the private key from the first wallet to the second.
Pros: No fees, control over the funds stays the same.
Cons: Less secure because you are manipulating the private key and not included in second wallet backup.

this I know but the part I didn't understand is where do I do the transaction? When I generated the wallet on the web where does the transfer done? is there a website to access the wallet I generated or what that the part I didn't understand
thx

There are so many btc wallet out there instead of using https://www.bitaddress.org, you are only making things complicated try using blockhain.info or if you want to use the address you created at https://www.bitaddress.org using blockhain.info you can import the generated private key.

You can do it with bitcoinjs-lib : https://bitcoinjs.org/
But i suppose that you don't have any coding skills, so you should consider one of these solutions :

1- Import the private key of the address you created in bitaddress.org at bitcoin-qt (the core wallet) : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5941/how-do-i-import-a-private-key-into-bitcoin-qt
2- Import the private key of the address you created in bitaddress.org at blockchain.info : https://blockchain.info/wallet/paper-tutorial
3- import it into your phone using bitcoin-qt android/ios wallet : just scan the Qr code of the private key, like for blockchain.info

If you've never heard of a random site then don't trust it.

The simplest thing you could do is import your private key into your favourite bitcoin client. Core, electrum, armory, or mobile options are just a few that I can name. Do your research. Good job getting away from a centralized 3rd party that holds your private keys. That's definitely a smart idea with bitcoins nearing an ATH again. Usually that's when the exit scams start coming out.

Bitcoinjs-lib is used by all the block explorers, web wallets, light wallets, desktop wallets. It is not a random website, and i think that you never read nor check the codes you use online.

how then I transfer the money from the wallet I created on https://www.bitaddress.org/  to another wallet?
sorry for the newbie question and thank you!

- Import your paper wallet address to electrum or blockchain.info wallet using private key you have.
- Send what you want to another bitcoin address and send remaining balance to another new address which you can generate again from bitaddress.

In this way you can safely store remaining bitcoin in your paper wallet completely offline.
