The coach advised the girls not to move. -This is the answer.

About indirect speech:

• The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form. But here we have the imperative form of sentence.
• Imperative sentences are those expressing advise/ order/ request. So we must use 'advised' and the verb takes the infinitive form. 'Do not move' becomes 'not to move'.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. Here the listener 'girls' are addressed finally. In indirect speech, we must use 'advised the girls'.
• Therefore the answer is: The coach advised the girls not to move.
