This move is called migration of sites. There are two ways to achieve this migration.
- Use the 3rd party tool which will directly migrate Sites/sitecollections from 2010 farm to SharePoint 2016. i.e. Sharegate, metalogix etc
- In 2nd method, you have to build a SharePoint 2013 farm in between SharePoint 2010 & sharePoint 2016. It is called database upgrade method.
- create SharePoint 2013 farm.
- Take the backup of SharePoint 2010 Databaste (which has all sites)
- restore it in SharePoint 2013, fully upgrade to Sharepoint 2013 level
- Now take the backup of database from SharePoint 2013 farm and Restore it SharePoint 2016
- Upgrade the restore DB to SP 2016.
- Now test the site collections

Problem is you cannot do direct migration. Once you have database in the SharePoint 2016...you can move the site collections in the existing DB using Move-spsite command, also export & import the sites in desired site collection– Waqas Sarwar MVP ♦Dec 19, 2018 at 15:08
