Does winder weight stop moving when an automatic watch is wound?
No, the weight continues to spin on its gear/bearing mechanism, BUT once the watch reaches full winding capacity, there is a clutch mechanism that decouples the spinning weight from further winding. An automatic watch never overwinds with continued motion, it just stays fully wound. Some watch manufacturers design their automatics to wind in only one direction; others prefer a bidirectional design. Watch TIme had a nice article on this last year.
