Since music is movable how do you know what key single note patterns are in?

Say I'm playing twinkle twinkle little star and the first note is open E. Does that mean it's in the key of E? And if I move the pattern up a half step would it be in F then a whole step to G? I don't know what notes to use with do different keys. Thanks in advance.
