Answer to question in title: Discussions can be enabled by staff upon request, however, I think it would be better to wait until the UCP migration is done at this point (discussions will then be automatically enabled for every community).

Answer to actual question: I'd recommend to take a look at the Forum retirement thread. Information on migrating forum content is collected over there.
