It was Aristotle, not Plato, who urged immobility.

Plato describes the soul as self-moving, Phaedrus   245C-246A; Laws 894D-896B. Moreover, we have seen in 6(a) that despite the imperceptibility of soul, its movements are described as spatial movements, Timaeus   36C-D; 40A; 41D-42A; 43A-44B; 44D; 91E-92A; Laws 790D-791B. Some of these passages have been translated there.

Aristotle, though toying with the idea of self-movement, rules it out as not literally possible. A self-mover must split into a part that is moved and a part that is an unmoved mover, Phys. 8.5, 256b13-257b14. The ultimate unmoved mover turns out to be God. Simplicius  , in Phys. 1220,29-36, following Eudemus, takes the discussion of a self-mover to be merely a concession to his predecessors. [SorabjiPC1  :217]
