Woke up this morning and my MacBookAir icons had all been moved to the right and I cannot move them! I am on Mojave 10.14.6 and didn't even have the darn thing plugged for an update! Please help. Thanks.

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…

Thank you -- Just wondering WHY this spontaneously happened!
While it's generally attributed to Updates or Upgrades, it can also mean corruption or flakey mouse or touchpad.
Thank you -- Now that you mention it -- I have had trouble the past few days with my cursor arrow "disappearing". Maybe time for a new laptop.
