A stick insect is an insect that looks like a twig.

Specifically, the arthropod in question belongs to the Phasmatodea order of insects. The insect carries the additional common names ghost insects, leaf insects, stick-bugs, and walking sticks. Its ordinal name phasmid originates in the ancient Greek φάσμα (phasma) for "apparition, phantom."

Your stick insect just shedded a few hours ago and it isn't moving as much as it normally would and it looks sick and its one and a half years old is it ok?

The stick insect is probably still "drying out". The new skin stays soft for quite a while after shedding so the stick insect will often stay very still until its new skin has hardened.
