Wheel moves left-right or up-down? If its left-right but not up-down, then it could be a steering component, eg worn track rod end, rack, or rack-body mount loose, or steering UJ.

If its up down (as well as left-right) then it is probably the wheel bearing. Sure, check the nut is tight as it would be a gift if that were all! But it would be rare (you never know with old cars though) to work loose, they're normally uber-tight!
