The worm is brown and about 6-10 millimeters long ( ---- ish)
It's got these long suction cup things on it and a head (assuming) that kinda reminds me of asparagus. This is the link to the picture

I saw it moves, so it's not a stick (as much as it looks like one) Keep in mind ,that picture is zoomed in.
Now, does anyone know what kind of worm that is? I've been searching on the internet for a few hours.

Yup - it's a geometrid caterpillar. These are pretty neat at disguising themselves; some pose like twigs on trees (and can be very hard to spot), and some 'glue' bits of stuff on their backs, like dead leaves and such, to look like something that's not a caterpillar, but just some junk. Unfortunately for them, birds are pretty good at finding them...

I don't know the species,but it is a Caterpillar.Do a search on butterflies and larva for you region and you should find out. I agree with the answer above it looks like an inchworm.

This appears to be an ‘inchworm’ caterpillar (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) in the genus Nematocampa. They often are called ‘filament bearers’.

I don't know the scientific name for your worm but I always called them Inch Worms. They used to be my favorite kind of insect.
