My cockatiel can't stay stay still on his perch and keeps shuffling around. Is he okay?

It sounds like Stormy is very restless and stressed for some reason. If he is eating and drinking and acting otherwise normally you can give a bit more time to see if his behavior goes back to normal. If this behavior persists longer than 24 hours I would have him checked by your vet. Also, make sure he is a calm, quiet area as to avoid extra stress.
