Hey Atreya_Bhat, even I started working with MoveIt! quite a few months back. But I hope I can provide some useful tips for you at this stage.
Since you already have a URDF, you should "catkin build" or "catkin_make" (whichever is applicable to your ROS and MoveIt! workspace) the folder containing the URDF file of the robot, in the Ubuntu terminal. Only after that, I would advise you to open the MoveIt! Setup Assistant and start creating the configuration package (useful link over here).
After creating the configuration package successfully, you should "catkin build" or "catkin_make" this config folder created in your workspace. Then you can follow the steps on this link to start playing with your robot, using the RViz interface.
To automate or programming the tasks for the robot, you can then follow up through this page (This is for using C++, python based is available as well. But from my experience till now, it has been easy for a new guy like me to find various useful code syntax from the MoveIt! tutorials website for C++ and references from various online discussion posts/forums.).
Please Note: Reading your question, I have assumed that you are familiar with building ROS packages and have installed MoveIt! properly as well. And that you want to test/try the robot by running it in a computer using MoveIt!.
