Normally if it is a moonlit night, the stars are not as bright as they are on a night without a moon, but if you mean to say that the night has both a moon and bright stars, you could say that many ways:
"The sky was lit by the moon and the stars."
"The night was starry and moonlit."
"It was a starry, moonlit night."
etc.
But "moon starry night" does not sound idiomatic at all to me.

Unfortunately, "moon" as a verb has a couple of meanings that have nothing to do with the actual moon in the sky: merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moon - so if you tried to use "mooned" with the intended meaning "with the moon visible" that would not work.

I can see nothing wrong with "It was a starry night and the moon was also shining". Or just "The moon and stars were shining".
We don't say "a moony night", the phrase "a starry night" is something of a fixed idiom.
