No.
There's nothing to move as the files and data don't exist within a specific plan.. When you start using your own plan, then your data's storage usage simply count's against your own subscription, the physical location of the files and data does not actually change in any way shape or form.
Also note, sharing iCloud storage does not mean other family members have access to your data and files, as long as you aren't also sharing the same Apple Account. Data in iCloud is kept separate and private when sharing iCloud storage in Family Sharing.
