Been poking around for a while but did not find the part where it explains how ETH moves from the old chain to the new prior to the merge.

Do you know where it is described?

It involves something called the staking deposit contract:

https://launchpad.ethereum.org/overview/

Picking any active validator on the Beacon Chain, we can see that there is an Eth1 deposit and a corresponding Eth2 deposit:
