yes it moves and at a specific speed. a long wire is not necessary for flow just a potential or force.

Because of this attraction/repulsion behavior between individual particles, electrons and protons are said to have opposite electric charges. That is, each electron has a negative charge, ... As each electron moves uniformly through a conductor, it pushes on the one ahead of it, ... The same holds true for electric current:

A magnetic field surrounds a conductor carrying an electric current. The magnetic field stops when the flow of current stops. Use a plotting compass to find the magnetic field about a current-carrying conductor. Push a wire through of a piece of cardboard and connect to an electric circuit.

Materials with high electron mobility (many free electrons) are called conductors, ... As each electron moves uniformly through a conductor, it pushes on the one ahead of it, such that all the electrons move together as a group. ... Dynamic electricity, or electric current, is the uniform motion of electrons through a conductor.
