1. Make the selection
2. Edit > Copy or Ctrl-C
3. Edit > Paste or Ctrl-V. This creates a Floating Selection
4. In the Layers Dialogue right click on the Floating Selection and select "To New Layer"

Now... I can't move it.

1. In the Layers Dialogue make sure the text layer is selected.
2. Select the Move Tool
3. In the Tool Options make sure the Move is set to Layer (not Selection or Path)
4. In the Tool Options select "Move the active layer"
5. Move the layer
