What happened was that the ocean was eroding the beach where the lighthouse stood. They moved it inland so that it wouldn't be washed away by further erosion.
Here's a site with all kinds of information about moving the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

Because it was practically in the ocean before they moved it.
