Chosen Solution

My controller causes my character to move when I do not move the control stick. Is it dirty or is it just a bad signal?

Often times, disconnecting the controller and blowing into the connection port on both the controller and console can fix this problem.

Turns out there was an error when the console recognized the controller so I just unplugged it and re-connected it to the console

It may be dirty or your joystick may be misaligned. I recommend you check out our joystick replacement guide, and use the steps to clean out the area and then reattach your joystick. If the problem still persists it may be a problem with your motherboard.
