It moves, you moving from one point in the universe to another needs to take into account where all the moving parts are going. Only instant teleportation, where nothing has had time to move, would work. But that would be akin to traveling back in time.

There is no defined central point for all coordinates. Everything is relative to something else or might as well be staying perfectly still for all intents and purposes.
