Hello, Since upgrading my pro book to Catalina, it's really hard to move files. When I click them, they open. It sometimes takes me a few minutes to move one file. Is there any way to stop them from opening? Thank you.

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test .
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.

If this is a trackpad issue—
look for external signs of your battery swelling (case seperation, a bulge etc.) This is one cause for trackpad issues a swollen battery putting pressure on the trackpad needs service ASAP. the results can be catastrophic if left unchecked.
In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
