I need to move this wall, but I want to reuse the bluestone for the new wall. So they need to stay whole. Luckily, there isn't any cement between the bluestones-
they're just sitting in it.
Has anyone tried to do this before? What tools did you use? Would love some guidance. Thank you!

They don't seem to be laid too deep into the ground: excavate the soil behind one of them and try to crank it up from behind with a bar. If it is feeling pretty solid you may have to break that few inches of concrete sitting in front of them with a sledge to loosen them.
Start from a corner or an end stone if you don't want to dig whole lot of soil.
If you can't move them this way you may have to use a jackhammer to open some space around them but I doubt it would come to that.
