  If pvmove fails, you can use 'pvmove --abort' to abandon it
  or 'pvmove' on its own [or with same source pv as before] to
  retry.  xxchange -ay may also attempt to restart pvmoves in
  progress (leaving a pvmove daemon running).

Need more precise description of what you mean by 'hanging'.

And the usual diagnostics:  debug log file from the command that should
have set the pvmove running, any kernel error messages, lvm.conf, a copy 
of the current VG's metadata [e.g. with vgcfgbackup -f] etc.
If pvmove process itself freezes, then a long/wide 'ps' output for that
process, kcopyd & kmirrord (incl cols: NI, VSZ, RSS, STAT 
and symbolic WCHAN).
