Why Is My PS4 Controller Moving on Its Own?
Sounds like your controller's analog sticks might be suffering from stick drift! Try cleaning around the base of the sticks with compressed air or isopropyl alcohol. If that doesn’t work, you might need to replace the controller or the analog sticks.

Oh no, the ghost of controllers past! Kidding. It's probably stick drift. Cleaning or recalibrating the controller could help. Good luck!
Try a different controller to see if the problem persists. If the other one works fine, it's definitely your controller.
Had the same issue! It was stick drift caused by dirt buildup. Cleaning the analog sticks with some rubbing alcohol fixed it for me.
