No, they DO move around. This is due to the molten metal within the Earth moving around. On the grand scheme of things, the magnetic poles don't move around that much, but in recent years the magnetic poles move approximately 25 feet per year. 
 
Also, keep in mind that the magnetic poles are different from the geographic poles. The geographic poles do not move!

Some recent research by the European Space Agency indicates a possibility of a geomagnetic flip (pole reversal) within the next 100 years.
