Massive astrophysical compact halo object, or MACHO, is a general name for any kind of astronomical body that might explain the apparent presence of dark matter in galaxy halos. A MACHO is a body composed of normal baryonic matter, which emits little or no radiation and drifts through interstellar space unassociated with any solar system. Since MACHOs would not emit any light of their own, they would be very hard to detect. MACHOs may sometimes be black holes or neutron stars as well as brown dwarfs or unassociated planets. White dwarfs and very faint red dwarfs have also been proposed as candidate MACHOs.

Does dark matter move?

We don't even know what dark matter is, let alone if it decays. One possibility is something called sterile neutrinos; neutrinos that do not interact via the weak force. If so, it's unlikely that they'd decay, though they might undergo neutrino oscillation. If not that, it's likely something even more exotic which we don't know anything about yet (other than it interacts with normal matter through the gravitational force, and not through any of the other forces).
