Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

Try cleaning the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
If that does not help, try another mouse.
FWIW most any generic wireless or USB mouse will work with your iMac for testing and/or until you can get a replacement Apple mouse.
Thank you.
Is it USB or Bluetooth?
Bluetooth

Safe mode did not solve the problem
You’re welcome.
