Congratulations on getting strings on! It's a great feeling - the end is now in sight.
So... On the question of "Everything moving".....
What specifically do you mean "everything moving"?
Did the top lower bout "pull up" under string tension (expected)
Did the neck angle shift under string tension (not expected)?
If it was the neck angle.... Was the neck set kinda loose? Was there a gap at the neck heel/body due to the fretboard hitting the top? Perhaps the tenon hitting something in the mortise? Perhaps the neck bolts were just a bit loose?
Or did the body geometry/upper bout shift a bit under string tension? (Generally not expected).
