My husband just moved to the US from the UK and still works for a UK company. He gets paid in British pounds directly into a UK account and transfers the money thru Paypal. All his work is done from home via computer and internet. Is he self-employed?

If he works for a company then hes not self employeed, no.
-
If he's an independent contractor, yes. Otherwise, no.

I doubt it, are you looking into this for tax purposes?

He should be able to answer that? If he's employed, his employers would be deducting his National Insurance contributions and Tax, if he's self-employed, it's his responsibility to pay them
-
If he is a citizen of the US he has to pay income tax in the US IRS 1099 form, used for income other that a company. (lotteries, self employment, etc) this is in additon to any taxes paid in the UK

My husband was considered an employee for the UK company when he lived in the UK, but now that he lives in the US, he won't be paying taxes in the UK. For IRS purposes, is he considered self-employed or something else?
