Ashley's mom moves her and her daughter to the other side of the room.
And do I need an apostrophe here? She lets her go, or, she let's her go.

Moves ' her' and 'her' daughter is wrong because it is not clear that 'her' refers to the mother and the daughter of the same mother. This is a good example of the confusion that may occur when a pronoun and it's antecedent are not clear. If you mean to say that Ashley's mom moves herself and Ashley to the other side of the room then you need to say so. The examples from other replies are correct.
"Lets" in this sentence is the present tense, 3rd person singular which, in regular verbs, adds and "s." eg: I walk, you walk, and he, she, it walkS.
Good questions; they show you are thinking about and editing what you write.

Ashley's mom moves her and her daughter to the other side of the room
Did you mean???
Ashley and her mom move to the other side of the room.
She lets her go, or, she let's her go.
She lets her go. No apostrophe.
'Let's' would sound like this: She let 'is' her go, that would not make sense.
I hope your paper turns out great.

Ashley's mom guided her daughter across the room and remained with her.
Your way:
Say: 'Ashley's mom moved herself and her daughter to the other side of the room."

I think it should be " Ashley's mom moves her daughter and herself to the other side of the room"

is it ashley's daughter? or ashley's mom's daughter (which would make it ashley's sister? Need to somehow specify a little more
and it should be "she let her go"

Looks good.
And no, you don't need the apostrophe. They're only for contractions and possesion.
Hope this helps!

um, out of context, for some reason this sentence is confusing me, i think the "her" after "Ashley's mom" is confusing, do you meen Ashley herself, or her mom?

"She lets her go."
Let's is a contraction meaning "Let us," whereas lets is just a form of the verb "to let."
and I think that you need to say "...moves herself and her daughter..."

The first: correct.
And no apostrophe needed there.
