Simplest thing is:

mkdir /newvz

mount /dev/sda2 /vz
mount /dev/sda3 /newvz

/etc/rc.d/init.d/vz stop

cd /vz
find . -print | cpio -pvdum ../newvz

when it's done,
umount /vz
umount /newvz

mount /dev/sda3 /vz
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vz start

THEN MAKE SURE YOU EDIT /etc/fstab

With this approach, you will still have your data on /dev/sda2 if for some reason you messed it up, and you can retrieve it by doing:
mkdir /oldvz
mount /dev/sda2 /oldvz

Good luck!
