No, you can not move out at 16, in Missouri you have to be 18.

At 16 or 17 you would be arrested and normally put into a detention facility for children, until arrangements can be made to return you home.

Also at 16 you can't legally enter into a contract so you can't sign a lease. And anyone allowing you to live with them could be prosecuted for parental interference, harboring a minor etc.
