Do the 13 and 16 use different mainboards? Can I buy an AMD 13 and move it to a 16 chassis?

Has to be different, currently the four expansion slots are on the mainboard as USB-C ports. So going to six expansion slots would require a new mainboard.

They do use different mainboards in order to enable all of the functionality that exists in the Framework Laptop 16 (6x Expansion Cards, the Expansion Bay, and the Input Module system).
