You must name the nets, then extract it and parse it to a spice netlist. The commands are:
ext
ext2spice lvs
ext2spice

I usually copy by pressing A, then C. I don't know why it is not working there.

i don't know why it looks different, looks like some layers didn't get copied, do you know what may be the issue?

They are instances. You should first select everything, then press shift+X. This way you can move the instances.

The method Luis mentioned in which you unexpand all subcells, then select and move everything, is the best method for copying layout.
