With the polygon tool 
, drag marquee around all points you want to move, and then do one of the following:
•If at least one of the points is on a vertical guide, click that point and drag it in the desired direction.
Note: If the snap to grid is turned on, and the point is on vertical guide, it will snap to a guide while dragging it up and down and the object won't be distorted. If the point IS NOT on a vertical guide, it will move to snap to the guide and therefore distort the object. In such case it is recommended to use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys instead, or to release snap.
•If no points are on a vertical guide, press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys to move the selected point in the desired direction.
