To be roped into something = to agree, due to strong pressure or persuasion, to do something you didn't want to do, here it's "moving", probably moving house.
To be a thing = to be a known and popular concept/practice (informally).
Quote, unquote = mimicking writing something enclosed in quotation marks, here to emphasise that the concept is tenuous.
The speaker has agreed to be involved in an event, moving house, that they didn't want to be involved in. It has been called a "moving party" in order to persuade them/pressurise them to agree.
