Electrons move..but the actual movement of electrons is insignificant compared to the speed of current. However, its not possible to trace the movement of any particular electron.
But, in static electricity, when a charged body is earthed or brought close to another neutral body, there is an actual movement of charge ( a cluster of electrons) breaking the di-electric, across the points of least resistance.
That is the difference between static electricity and current flowing in a circuit.
