No I mean if it stopped in place relative to the galqxy and everything

You'd need to specify a reference frame, as there is no universal "zero point". Probably the most sensible choice would be the CMB rest frame though.

That sounds overly complicated I just want to not move, we have an estimate on how fast everything is moving so why not just remove that plus the expansion of the universe to have it hold still

Don't know, with the context of the solar system and the planets sun's reference frame looked more sensible. Stopping in the CMB frame may have been more spectacular, true
