Wow that is pretty far away

the nearest black hole to earth (that we know of) is called V 4641 and its 1600 lightyears away. black holes are formed from very massive stars exploding and then coming back together and collapsing. so they would orbit around the center of the galaxy in the same path that the star that created it did. so yes they move, but they dont just wander around randomly.

Much farther than the nearest star, and yes they can move.
All the stars and black holes and really every particle of matter in the universe is moving all the time.
But if you are worried about a black hole moving in and swallowing Earth, don't. A star could in theory to the same thing, and there are lots of stars closer to Earth than the nearest black hole, so I would expect about a million stars to crash into Earth before a black hole did. And the distances are SOOOooooo large that even at a million miles per hour it would take thousands of years for a star or black hole to cover the distance between it and Earth. These things are just REALLY far away!

Black holes do not exist. There is no evidence that suggests that anything in the universe is separate and above all else. Light is absolutely everywhere in the universe. It's not a 'thing', it's part of everything and it's just an expression of existence itself. So saying that somewhere there is no 'light' is like saying somewhere there is 'nothing'. Since nothing does not exist by definition in the context of... everything, light exists everywhere. It's all gravity, everything is gravity and that's why we have planets and stars. They are the result of existence warping itself, as existence must continue to 'move' and 'bend'.
Black holes, neutron stars and 'nothing' do not exist and are the inventions of quacks who do not have the mental capacity to be honest and truthful. Lots of science 'fields', like quantum physics for example, are new age religions which soul intentions are to control the masses.
Modern astronomy is about as backwards and primitive as you can be. It's based on the illusion of control, as is a black hole.

there is a black hole in the center of our galaxy.
