0010761: Merchants neither move nor trade - Dwarf Fortress Bug Tracker

Notes
(0038333) Meless (reporter) 2018-05-19 13:38	Now I see they are not completely standing still. They are moving a bit, but this don't seem to be significant.

Usually all the merchants either leave when a unit scuttles its goods (you should have a pile of things lying on the ground together with "wagon wood" somewhere along the path to the trade depot). Just reporting something odd is rarely helpful, however, as a save is usually needed to analyze what's happened (which may not be sufficient either). Saves are typically uploaded to DFFD, http://dffd.bay12games.com/submit.php. [^] A "save" is a <DF>\data\save\regionX folder (where X is a number) containing all the info for that world. Edit: And you can use the edit option on a previous comment rather than producing a string on comments to save on space.
