My Ubuntu version is default 18.04.
It seems to be configured via some macro or shell script, But I can't find and figure out.
Is there any way I can move (or swap) pinned Ubuntu taskbar icons using a simple key combination like super + whatever + arrow?

There is no built-in possibility to move the pinned icons through keystrokes. The pinned icons (and their order) are defined in a dconf setting, e.g.
org.gnome.shell favorite-apps ['firefox.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'zim.desktop', 'org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'libreoffice-writer.desktop', 'libreoffice-calc.desktop', 'libreoffice-impress.desktop', 'org.gnome.gedit.desktop']
Thus, at least, the pinned icons and/or their order could be changed in a script by changing the setting:
gsetting set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps ['...']
It would probably not be that easy to implement a keyboard interface that would allow to select an icon and move it with keystrokes. There is no way that I know to select the Ubuntu dash with the keyboard. In Standard Gnome Shell, however, without Ubuntu Dock active, one can reach the Dash in the overview with: Super Ctrl+Alt+Tab.

@Zanna I was assuming the default Ubuntu 18.04 environment. Rather than closing the question immediately, the OP should probably be given the change to indicate the details.

OP edited the question, it is indeed default 18.04. Nonetheless, I would not jump to assumption in general before OP actually edits the post. Besides questions always can be reopened
