Answer
Dear Bridget,
thank you for your question.
I know that behaviour from my own dragon, but I'm not sure what causes it. I assume that they do it because something scared them, like a movement they saw or changes in the light when they are moved from one room to the other. But usually they calm down fast and it doesn't cause them to be aggressive, just frightened. I wouldn't worry about it.

About the lack of balance: this may be an early sign of or a leftover from a vitamin D3-deficiency.
I hope I was of some help to you
