I currently have a website on shared hosting using eXtend control panel. I have created a full backup of my website "website.zip" and i have created a full database backup "database.sql". I'm not familiar with cpanel whm, i want to move the website to vps. I assume i should import the database into phpmyadmin in whm. How do i transfer the website files and where do i change the nameservers so the domain www.mywebsite.com points to the vps and not shared hosting?
website.zip ( if its public_html your can decompress on your local machine) and upload via FTP/SFTP to your site (cpanel user) public_html or upload the entire zip file an decompress on the server
nameservers are set at the registrar

Hello 
As mentioned, you can extract the contents of your archive and upload the files to your account via a service such as FTP. Here's a guide on name servers that you may find helpful:
