I was reading and in a sentence it said, "и он давай двигаться.." or something like that.

How is that use of давай here?

Начал
Он начал двигаться.
Здесь давай - разговорное.

In addition, it is likely to mean that he started to move vigorously

We can also say(as the translation of it) He immediately started to move

Примеры из классики:

Прибежал медведь
И давай реветь:
Ку-ка-ре-ку!

И сейчас же щетки, щетки
Затрещали, как трещотки,
И давай меня тереть,
Приговаривать:

"Моем, моем трубочиста
Чисто, чисто, чисто, чисто!

Понятно

Если не ошибаюсь, "пошел" тоже может использоваться в этом значении.

More context would help...
Maybe, something like that:

And he took off
And he moved
And he left

Ther could be many versions, need more context
