If the CD is already in an IRA account, you can transfer it to any other IRA account that will accept your CD. However, unless you have a brokered CD, it ordinarily can't be transfered to another bank or to a brokerage. If you have an ordinary CD that you bought at a bank, it has to stay in the same bank.

If the CD is not in an IRA account, you cannot put it into an IRA account. Only cash (including checks, money orders, and electronic funds transfers) can be contributed to an IRA. If you are eligible to put money into an IRA, you will have to wait until the CD matures and cash it out or cash it out early and pay a penalty. Then you can use the cash to make a contribution to an IRA subject to the usual annual limits on contributions.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
