There are many ways that prove that the particles of matter are in continuous motion. The one I describe here is very simple to perform.

materials required: incense stick and a match box

procedure:

- put an unlit incense stick in a a corner of room

- now light up the incense stick.

observation: the smell of the unlit incense stick can be observed only by going close to it but the smell of lighted incense stick can be observed from a distance

conclusion:all the particles of matter posses kinetic energy{ability of particles to be in continuous motion} and kinetic energy increases with an increase in temperature.

Do the particles of matter move?

If by particles of matter, you mean atoms, then yes, they do move. Atoms are in constant motion unless they are subjected to absolute zero (0K or -273 degrees C).
