The general movements that a ship makes while at sea is the "ride of the ship". This general term includes all the pitching, yawing, and rolling that a ship does.

As you can see, there are different terms for a boats movement along a specific axis (Pitch, Roll, Yaw). But, if you ask any boater about the combined effect, they will almost always refer it as "wallowing". It might not be the official term but within a large part of the boating fraternity, it is what it's called.

Actually there are very specific terms for it. Rolling is the side to side motion. Pitching is the bow and stern moving up and down. Yawing is the side to side motion of the bow and stern, horizontally. In addition, there is heaving, surging and sway.

The ship is "listing" to and fro.
