How to move a window to another workspace in Xfce?
The shortcut for "move windows to another workspace" in Xfce should be Ctrl+Alt+Shift+← / → / ↑ / ↓. But it doesn't work, there're no such shortcuts. Why, am I missing anything?

There isn't any. By default, the action "Move window to left/right/up/down workspace" has no shortcuts set since Xfce 4.8. This hasn't change in newer releases of Xfce, so the shortcut might have been deprecated earlier or not adopted at all.
But there should be
No, really. Those 'old' shortcuts were originally found in GNOME; I'm aware of this, because I had been using GNOME 2 before switching to Xfce 4.8 and newer. Xfce doesn't have any shortcut keys assigned by default, as shown by the following screenshot.
Revive shortcuts in Xfce anyway
To define shortcuts for the action "Move window to left/right/up/down workspace", it can be done in xfwm4-settings or navigate from Settings Manager as below.
Open Settings Manager from application menu (or run
xfce4-settings-manager).Navigate to Window Manager, then select Keyboard tab.
In the tab, scroll down until "Toggle fullscreen" entry. The relevant actions "Move window to..." are listed below it with empty column on the right.
Do either: Double-click the empty column for corresponding action, or select the row for corresponding action and click "Edit" button.
A small popup window will appear, then press the shortcut keys to be assigned i.e. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+↑ for previously selected action i.e. Move window to upper workspace.
Finally, the popup window will be closed and done.
Repeat step 4 and 5 for other actions.
Additional notes
To this date, Wikipedia still note the 'old' shortcuts in the article of Table of keyboard shortcuts under "Window Management". That has changed since the introduction of GNOME 3, with most of the shortcuts have been redefined and favours combination of Super key.
Screenshot was taken in Xubuntu 14.04 (Xfce 4.10).
