You should move the domain over to Digital Ocean, (it would make this process easier to explain and guide you through)
Then you need to export your MySQL database (http://webcheatsheet.com/sql/mysql_backup_restore.php)
And then move all your files over to a new server on Digital Ocean (https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
This would definitely be a project, there is no easy “attach to digital ocean” it would be a move to a new server for sure.
I would recommend, recreating the site on a Wordpress Droplet, and if there is a lot of content, work on moving that over to the new database.
