How to Fix PS3 Controller Analog Stick Moving by Itself
I've had this issue before and found that recalibrating the controller through the PS3 settings menu helped. Go to 'Settings', then 'Accessory Settings', and follow the calibration instructions.

First, try resetting the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back with a pin or paperclip. If that doesn't work, you might need to open it up and clean around the analog stick with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
Honestly, if the analog stick is drifting, it's usually just worn out. Consider getting a new controller; it might save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
Quick fix that worked for me: blow some compressed air around the analog stick to dislodge any dust or debris. Worth a shot before trying more drastic measures!
