Yes. Space is getting even bigger all the time because the universe is expanding.

well we can never know. if u believe the big bang theory, that the explosion created space and time, so by that theory space is still expanding. another theory alot of scientists believe is that space is 4 dimensional, so basically once u reach the end your right back where you started.

if u wanna see what i mean try to make a mobius strip, take an inch wide by like 10 inch long piece of paper, give it a half twist, and tape the ends. now start where you taped it and make a line all the way around. the further away from the starting point u get the closer u get.

Space expands on and on, pretty much, in a spherical way, but scientists have a theory that the universe will, at some point in the future, stop expanding and start pulling itself back to where it was created. It was named the Pulsating Theory, though I forgot who did it.

Space covers an infinite (maybe) void as it expands. Of course, scientists think that there is an end to the universe, but at its rate of expansion, it is impossible to reach it. Don't ask me what that speed is!

My reference is: The Universe, Life-Time Books

So far that's the way it looks, just like the energizer bunny.

Here's what it looks like with the most distant views that we have

No Space simply does not move.
