Simplest approach is as follows:
1./ vB admincp to turn off the CMS
2./ install a redirect on your index.html of your website as follows:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://yourwebsite.com/forum">
So now a user accessing http://yourwebsite.com/ will get linked to the index.php in the forum subdirectory

you can just move all the folders and edit the general settings
you'll also want to turn off the CMS via your plugins
if you do want the cms in the root and forums in a subfolder (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?356474-FAQ-How-to-install-CMS-in-Root-Forums-in-subdirectory), check out this thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?356474-FAQ-How-to-install-CMS-in-Root-Forums-in-subdirectory).
