Pardon my own derp, I wasn't sure how unfamiliar you were with the process. XD Allow me to elaborate.
"Locked" here means that, yes, the population has reached a certain threshold that the server will not allow one to make a new character at any time. However, because Squeenix has servers that run on chaos principle (or perhaps very drunk ferrets in wheels), they do allow you to create a new character at the lowest possible points of consecutive logins--specifically, just before or just after scheduled maintenance.
This, of course, would require one to make a brand new character in order for this method to work, so be sure to have some character creation data saved if you haven't already to expedite the process.
As far as "moving", that's an Optional Service offered at cost by the Mog Station. I'm not sure of the cost in your location's currency of choice, but that obviously would be visible through the Mog Station. I believe that there's a time limit on when one can request a paid transfer--something like one week after you made your character. I imagine that's on the details of the transfer page itself or someone reading this thread can confirm.
Again, if you have any questions--no matter how noobish--please feel free to ask.
