If you'll end up naming the files yourself, then I suggest killing the
whole subtree by C-c C-x C-w (|org-cut-subtree|) with point in the
heading, opening the new file, then yanking the subtree by C-c C-x C-y
(org-paste-subtree).

You could also use the refile mechanism for that, though I never managed
to wrap my head around that one.
