What controls the movement of the planet ,and what causes it to move

Basically gravity controls the movement of the planets and the initial movement was caused by rotational inertia.
" Planets move because the gas cloud that originally formed the solar system was spinning. The gas that wasn't spinning fell into the proto-Sun, and the planets formed from gas and chunks that were spinning enough that they were in orbit. Once the planets formed and were in orbit about the Sun, there was no reason for them not to stay there (objects in motion tend to remain in motion). The reason planets mostly form in the same plane is that the first step in the transformation from a gas cloud to a solar system is that the cloud collapses down to a disk. This happens because of conservation of angular momentum (the cloud originally has some spin), and random collisions tend to damp out the random velocities that fill up the spherical cloud. It's only after the disk forms that the densities get high enough and the collisions get frequent enough that planets can form."
"Gravity from the Sun is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun, just as gravity from the Earth is what keeps the Moon and satellites and the space shuttle in orbit around the Earth. The reason the Moon doesn't hit the Earth (and the Earth and other planets don't hit the Sun) is that the Moon is moving fast enough to miss the Earth."
Not talking about planets with clouds, read it again. The "cloud" is the gas and small debris that condenses down to form small particles, then grains, then rocks, boulders and eventually planets.
You are making sense but not all planet have clouds
