This indicates that no alias for "cp" and "mv" was set when you try to
unalias.

My /root/.bashrc contains by default:

# User specific aliases and functions
 
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i

And when I run following test script it works as expected.

$ cat testsh.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
# echo all aliases set
alias | wc -l
alias | egrep 'cp|mv'
 
# remove aliases for cp and mv
echo ""
echo "unalias cp and mv"
echo ""
unalias cp
unalias mv
 
# echo all aliases set
alias | wc -l
alias | egrep 'cp|mv'

## script end
