Where are my variables going?

I have the unit test below:

public void testPawnOnMove()
{
    thepawn = new Pawn(true, 0, 0, 0);
    thespot.placePiece(thepawn);
    thepawn.setMC(4);
    Spot cantgo = new Spot(0,2,0);
    thepawn.OnMove(thepawn, thespot, thespot);  //moves piece to same location
    thepawn.OnMove(thepawn, thespot, cantgo);
    Assert.assertFalse(cantgo.isOccupied());
    Spot cango = new Spot(0,1,0);
    thepawn.OnMove(thepawn,thespot,cango);
    Assert.assertTrue(cango.isOccupied());
}

but when it gets to the line thepawn.OnMove(thepawn, thespot, cango); and I step into the logic it says it cannot find local variable theMove, even though it is declared right above it. It also can't find the 3 parameters passed to it. The OnMove method is below :

public void OnMove(Pawn pawn, Spot source, Spot destination)
{
    if (source == destination)
    {
        //exit selected mode
        return;
    }

    Mover theMove = new Mover();

    try
    {
    if (theMove.TryMove(pawn, source, destination)) {

        pawn.setMC(pawn.getMC() + 1);
        if (destination.isOccupied()) {
            destination.releaseSpot();
            destination.placePiece(pawn);
        } else {
            destination.placePiece(pawn);
        }
        //update view.
    } else {   } }        //end if block      //end try block   //return to selected mode TODO fill else block with return to selected mode
    catch (NullPointerException objectmissing)
    {  }

  }
