How to move curve or line in Sketch
hi @Anonymous,
Can you share the model? This seems like incorrect behavior, but there could be a number of valid reasons for this. The model will help us figure out which it is.

A few of observation.
One you are not in sketch edit mode, this might no matter but I'd usually want to select edit sketch first so you can add constraints, dimension etc.
Two, the white dots indicate line\curve end points are not joined so when you select that end point you might not move the curve you want to. You might want to add a coincident constraint if you want the line and spline joined.
Here's a screencast, shows the sketch in unconstrained so you will get unpredictable results when moving. I had no problem using move or dragging the endpoints in sketch edit mode or in modeling mode.

Spline points are always displayed that why your first example shows a black point at the spline end of the line. With lines\arcs when endpoints are joined the coincident constraint and point are not displayed, probably just to keep the display a bit more simple and uncluttered. If you right click near the end of a line\arc that's joined you get an option on the right click menu to delete the coincident constraint by the way.

Here is a link to the handout on Google Docs @jeff_strater and I prepared for our class at Autodesk University.
Good part of that class was about sketching and there is a table in the doc that explains what the different colors mean called "What do all the colors mean ?"
Do you mean the ends of the spline handles? If that's what you are asking about they're not fully constrained, you've constrained the length but not the position.

Edit looking a bit closer it looks like you have angle constraints on the spline handles so it might be fully constrained. The sketch colour DOF is in preview and is not always correct.

It looks like spline handles don't change colour unless they are joined to some other sketch geometry.
Just constraining with dimensions doesn't turn black, if you add a line to one end it does.

Like I said it's in a preview so it gets it wrong sometimes.
I have Fusion setup so curves change to white for constrained, in the image below it shows white but the spine handles are not fixed so it's not constrained.
