Could you help me with English, please.

1. I cannot move to Los Angeles_ before the week after _ next.
2. I cannot move to Los Angeles_ until the week after _ next.
3. I will not move to Los Angeles_ before the week after _ next.
4. I will not move to Los Angeles_ until the week after _ next.
5. I am not going to move to Los Angeles_ before the week after _ next.

I think 2, 3 and 5 are right but I'm not sure.

None of them! The reason: Angeless. However, it's a Spanish word. :)
The rest is fine... hehe! ;)

As a native speaker they all sound fine.
Two things:
Which sentences are correct?
And it's Los Angeles (with one S at the end).

People are saying that not only are these sentences all grammatical, but they also mean the same. With regards to the latter, I beg to disagree. Before is before, i.e. preceding. Until means until, i.e. when the event is due to occur. So you've got preceding the following week, or you've got on the following week.

XPaul, "cannot" is written as one word in English. Also, "the week after next" is the expression, "the next" doesn't sound native.
Otherwise, they are correct, and chaika is correct about the different meanings using "before" and "until."
