it will continue it's movement around the Earth as it will not be affected due to gravity.

it moves tangentially at the point on the orbit where it stoped since the force acting on it stopes
force of moon equals gravitational pull of earth
mv2/r=GMm/r2
mv2/r is centrifugal force
imagine it like you tied a pebble at the end of the rope and rotating it and u suddenly leave iy.

the force of moon and earth are equal
once force of earth stops moon moves independant of any force
so it moves in a stright line
that is tangential
