VSCode errors when refactoring JavaScript to new file

[ProCode-Software]

Type: Bug

I was trying to copy some JavaScript functions to a new file using Refactor. I clicked Move to file and got the following notification:

<semantic> TypeScript Server Error (5.6.2)

This happens when I use Move to existing file, not Move to new file.

It still doesn't work

When I select the following code in a javascript file and I refactor it (Move to file -> new file path), I get the issue

async function writeSvgFilesFromData(jsonData) {
    const iconsJson = getIconsJson()

    for (const [name, data] of Object.entries(jsonData)) {
        newIcons.push(name)

        let optimized = optimize(data.icon, svgoConfig).data;

        strokeColors.forEach((color) => {
            optimized = optimized.replaceAll(color, 'currentColor');
        });

        try {
            const fn = rename.kebabCase(name.trim())

            writeFileSync(
                resolve(outDir, `${fn}.svg`),
                optimized
            )
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(ansiColors.red('Error making files:'));
            throw e
        }

        if (name.endsWith(' Variable')) {
            variableIcons.push(name)
        }

        iconsJson[name] = data
    }
    const formatted = await prettierFormat(iconsJson)
    writeFileSync(iconsJsonPath, formatted)
}

What I just realised: Is it just because I'm using functions from my file in the script (e.g. getIconsJson())? I feel like it should automatically do something about it like add an export though.
