Is it really that easy to move something like that while you're being watched and about to be attacked, or are they still there and just very well hidden?

He had jets and tanks buried in the desert, not too hard to bury warheads and plastic drums. He had 10+ years to do it.
His primary goal was to keep Iran at bay by making sure everyone believed he had stockpiles without provoking the UN too much. I am not saying the invasion was justifiable on the grounds that he was an imminent threat... but there is no question that he 1) had large stockpiles of chemical weapons and 2) refused to allow UN inspectors to verify or account for everything and 3) no one could account for their destruction, therefore must be presumed to exist.
If Saddam had simply let the UN inspectors do their jobs, he'd be sitting in one of his many palaces right now.
