So basically, what I did was I took my SD card from my LG Optimus V and plugged it into this new phone. I don't know if it was right for me to just do that or not. But I can't find those apps anywhere on my phone, even with a file manager. So I decided to install those apps again from the Play Store, with the SD card still inside. Well, the applications don't give me the option to move them to the SD card, which on my Optimus it did. What did I do wrong? How can I fix this?

When you "move" an app to the SD card, it only moves a portion of the app -- the rest stays on the phone letting Android know where and how to run the app. So, you can't just move the SD card between phones and have the apps work, the apps have to be installed on the new phone.

Install an "App2sd" app to move all the apps that are moveable (all aren't).
