I'm 39 weeks pregnant and I'm having alot of presser like i have to pee every 15 mins. I'm contracting but I'm not in too much pain. But does this mean my water is going to break really soon? And does the baby still move around when your in labour cause I have no clue?

Peeing frequently is a good sign as it means added preassure is going on down there! It does not mean that your water will break soon though, a very small percentage of womens waters actually break naturally. When you go to the hospital though, (eventually...) sit on a couple of towels just in case...lol!
Time the pains and see if they start to follow a regular pattern, if they are all over the place and not gathering in intensity or regularity you are only in practice or false labour. When the pain gets tough and you can't talk through them, its the real deal. Try to move around and walk if you can. This will help the labour progress and it helps when gravity is involved! A warm shower will help the pains and get a chair or stool to rest on in the shower so you don't tire your legs out too much.
The baby still does move around when you are in labour but not as much. Because their head is engaged and sliding down the birth canal they can only wiggle their legs so you may feel a kick here and there but you may not feel much at all. This does not mean there is anything wrong with the baby
though.
Best of luck and keep walking and moving around. An active labour is usually quicker and less painful than if you are sitting still.

There is a chance you could be in labour.
This does not necessarily mean your waters are going to break any second.
Time your contractions from the start on one to the start of the next if the are 5 minutes or closer you best get to the hospital.
As for movement it depends on the baby mine never moved while i was in labour but other have said theirs did.
I would ring you OB or midwife and tell her what is going on she knows to be on standby incase you do go into full swing labour
Good luck
