Lost photos while trying to move them

I have a galaxy s3 that is not active anymore. I realized my photos were saved to internal memory not sd card, so I attempted to move them using the app "fast file manager". I highlighted them all and selected move, went to the sd card folder and attempted to paste and they it said "could not move". Now they are no where to be found.

I downloaded Dr. Fone and did the free scan to see if they would come up and some of the files come up pixelated (stripes). Not enough shows to even determine if these are the sought after files. Would the purchased version do any better? Is there any other options for recovering my pictures?
