The best thing to do is leave it alone. Just make sure its habitat is in the right conditions and it will eventually begin moving around more.
Hermit crabs get stressed when they get taken from the wild, taken from the pet store, and when they are handled too much.
Hermit crabs do not bite, they pinch. When a hermit crab pinches you that means that they are intimidated and stressed out, and possibly hungry. In your crabitat there should always be fresh food available to your hermit crab so it does not starve.

yes, and that either means it is too small or is stressed out and crawled out of shell or broke it, it is highly dangerous for the hermit crab and will die of depression or their stress levels
It is considered a limb, not an arm. And the loss of a limb does not necessarily mean the hermie crab has died, but is a hermit crab that is very stressed. One needs to double check their tank perimeters to make sure they are correct.
Hermit crabs get their name by being of the crab family. The hermit part is because of how they live in a shell, alone. But they are very social creatures and live in the wild in hoards. A hermit crab should never be bought alone, being alone makes them get stressed and die easily.
