  Hi there. You can move your content over, but not your domain. WordPress.com doesn’t accept incoming domain transfers, so you will have to keep your domain with GoDaddy, and then buy the domain mapping upgrade here to connect it to your WordPress.com site: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  To import your content, you will need to create an XML export file of your current site. See here for more information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/
