Uh, I guess you don't have movement mode active?
No way to tell without screenshots.

Actually, you say ALL units can't move anymore, then it's probably the movement mode for real. Press m to turn on movement mode.

Yes, if you are on 'Inspect' or 'Construct Road' for example, that will...slow you down. [:)]

I've accidentally spent all of my IP building a road to nowhere when I just wanted to move my Militia to scout the nearby hills.

Just a general FYI - in addition to the keyboard shortcut 'm' key, Move mode is also assessible in two other ways, via a menu button on the right side of the screen and via a popup dialog on mouse right-click.
