"Motionless" means it doesn't move. If an object moves, it can be said to be in motion; if it doesn't move, it is motionless.

Does an object have net force if it is motionless?

Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. When an object is motionless, its constant velocity is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
