  I just signed up with HostGator for my new domain name but now WordPress is telling me I need to move it? I don’t understand why.

  If you bought from Hostgator a domain with hosting, https://www.hostgator.com/managed-wordpress-hosting, you don’t need wordpress.com, instead you must install the open source wordpress.org.
  If you want to use your domain on the wordpress.com platform, you’ll need a paid plan with domain mapping.
