I noticed this movement when I press the front brake. I want to try fixing it on my own before going to a shop. Any recommendations?
Why does my front wheel move like this?

Welcome to centerlock rotors?
Check your rotor bolts are tight
if rotor doesn’t move when fully pushing on the brakes but the wheel does, then your hub is the problem
Might be pads shifting In the caliper if they are a hair small.
Fun fact, the brake pads have a small amount of float. The wheel can move like that as a result. Without a closer look a video won’t diagnose if there are other issues, but I’m guessing it is just the brake pads slopping fore/aft slightly in the calipers.
