This question is slightly back to front. It should perhaps read - can an electromagnetic wave ever not move ? The answer to this question would be no. Motion is absolutely central to the very existence of an electromagnetic wave. If the voltage between two conductors varies up and down, the electric field between them does the same. This changing electric field causes a changing magnetic field. The changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and so on ad infinitum. The net result of all this is an electromagnetic wave which propagates outwards at the speed of light.* If the wave were somehow prevented from moving it would cease to exist. * not really surprising, because light is itself an electromagnetic wave.
What else can I help you with?
What is the speed of any electromagnetic wave?
In a vacuum, any electromagnetic wave will move at the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second.
Is water an electromagnetic wave?
No, water is a compound made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It does not exhibit electromagnetic wave properties.

Wave in witch matter moves at a right angle to the direction of the wave?
Transverse wave. In this type of wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Classical example of transverse wave is electromagnetic wave.
