I think my laptop fan is broken because when it starts it makes a weird sound but as soon as I move my laptop a little bit the weird sound stops and start again after 5 mins? Do you know whats wrong?

I think you diagnosed it correctly. Your fan is broken.

Another possibility it could be is that a lot of dirt is inside. Try getting one of those cans of air aka “air duster” and blowing out any dirt.

The dirt can make your computer run hotter by covering up the vents. If your PC runs hot a lot, after a while it will eventually kill your hard drive other other parts. Just buy a can of "compressed air" aka "air duster" and clean it out a few times a year and you will be okay.

It might be too powerful. If it is possible try to set the compressor to something very low, as low powered as a regular Air Duster can.
