Hi @dineshnegi-9437 ,

You can refer to this document and microsoft support blog for steps.

I will still show you the detailed steps about migrate websites via GUI.

1. Install web deploy 3.6 on Web PI. Search web deploy in Web PI and install it. It may reports install fail but you don't need to worry about it, just some components of sql and they will not affect web deploy.
2. Choose the site you want to migrate. Right click it and choose the Export Application...
   
3. Click next(no need to change any settings) until it reminds you to set package path. Select the folder you want to store .zip file and name the .zip file. Then click next.
   
4. It will shows you the result of export. Click finish if success.
5. Move the .zip file to new server. Choose the new empty site on IIS(new server also need to install web deploy) and righ click to import application.
   
6. Click next and no need to change any settings.
7. Enter the site name when it reminds you to enter application information.
   
8. Still click next until it shows that install successfully.
9. Then you will find the site on new IIS.
