Dorsally-directed movement of a cell at the leading edge of the epithelium over the amnioserosa. The process by which the anatomical structures of embryonic epithelia are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. The process during Drosophila embryogenesis whereby the ectodermal cells of the lateral epithelium stretch in a coordinated fashion to internalize the amnioserosa cells and close the embryo dorsally. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the embryo over time, from zygote formation through syncytial blastoderm to the hatching of the first instar larva. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
