Yes, the king can move out of check, provided that doing so is a legal move (i.e. does not move into check again). If it cannot and there is no other way to defend the check, then it is mate.

A checkmate occurs when the king is in a direct line of attack, and also cannot move. If the king cannot move any piece but isn't in a direct line of attack, it is a stalemate (tie)
