 Cuiviénen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its name (cuiviër+nen) means 'water of awakening,' and it is said to have been on the shore of a large gulf in the inland Sea of Helcar in the far east of Middle-earth.
The Awakening of the Elves took place in very ancient times, during the Years of the Trees, and Cuiviénen is known to have been destroyed (perhaps by natural forces) since then.
It is unknown how long the Avari remained at Cuiviénen during the First Age, but it is certain that the Sea of Helcar ceased to exist after the War of Wrath, for "to Cuiviénen there is no returning".

The inland sea in the east of ancient Middle-earth, on the eastern shores of which lay Cuiviénen.
However, the text of The Silmarillion states that '...that sea stood where aforetime the roots of the mountain of Illuin had been...' (Quenta Silmarillion 3), and that Illuin was raised '...near to the north of Middle-earth' ibid 1), so Tolkien's conception seems to have changed over time.

Though the ships found Arvedui, they were lost at sea during a mighty storm, loosing both the king and the two Palantiri that he had escaped with.
The final two Ringbearers had yet to pass across the sea, but in the sixty-second year of the Fourth Age of the Sun, Samwise Gamgee, faithful companion of Frodo Baggins, arrived in Mithlond, and he and Cirdan sailed away on the last of the ships built by that great shipwright upon those shores.
For Ulmo had said unto him in a dream, "Abide now that time, for when it comes then will your work be of utmost worth, and it will be remembered in song for many ages after." And Cirdan had sworn to obey, though his kin sailed ahead of him, and he had wished to follow.

During that time huge parts of Middle-earth -- Beleriand, the far northern lands, the inland sea of Helcar -- were ruined or reshaped.
Tolkien doesn't explain why or how the sea of Helcar was destroyed, but it may be that the lands were raised up so that the waters flowed north and hence around the northern edge of Middle-earth to help inundate the sinking lands in Beleriand.
In fact, the Edain lived in Lindon for about 35 yeas before they began to set sail across the Sea, and the migration to Numenor is said in The Peoples of Middle-earth to have lasted at least 50 years.

In short, the War of Wrath must have produced two waves of migration: one coming from the east to the west as new lands rose up and destroyed the Sea of Helcar, one coming from the west to the east as people and evil creatures fled the destruction of Beleriand.
Caught in the middle would have been the Nandorin Elves, Dwarves, and Edainic Men of Eriador and Wilderland.
In the three years following the War of Wrath Eonwë travelled throughout Middle-earth, summoning Elves once again to pass over Sea to the West.

I don't think there were ever any Elves south of Greenwood/Mirkwood to the east of Anduin -- although I'm not really sure about where they lived in the lands east of the Sea of Rhun.
It is also conceivable he might have regarded some of them to have migrated southwards in those distant east lands.
However, I think the detruction of the Sea of Helcar (of the Sea of Rhun was all that remained) may have forced the Avari to migrate west.
