ISA and savings advice

This is not my strong point, so probably a stupid question but I’m going around in circles.
I earn under 50k per year (part time salary and NHS Pension combined)
I have an easy access Savings account (around 4.5% interest) with aprox £75k in it.

I’ve got a NS&I cash ISA opened in 2019. It has almost 20k in it, about 18k deposited in this current tax year.
Should I open another ISA and take money from my savings account to put into it? Do I do that before April 5th or do I wait until after April 5th?
I don’t want to lock money away, hoping to move home within the next year and want easy access to money if I need it.
I’m a bit paranoid on getting things wrong.

Once the new tax year starts, you can pay £20K in, either to the same one or a different one.1 -
Thank you eskbanker! I think it’s worth, in the new tax year finding another ISA with higher interest than NS&I. Thank you for your speedy reply, much appreciated.0
