Bethel is a place in Israel that originally was called Luz. Moses is not mentioned in any association with Bethel.
Jacob, in Genesis 28, dreamed a vision of a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it. The LORD stood above it and spoke to Jacob the Promise. Jacob then named the place Bethel, meaning "House of God".
Jacob's vision was an illustration of Jesus Christ becoming the mediator between God in Heaven and sinners on Earth. Jesus' conversation with Nathanael in John 1:47-51 shows us this meaning.
