Question
is it normal for my lizard to stay still for hours

Answer
Often times lizards will lay out in the sun(or basking light) for several hours at a time. When they start to get too hot they will move to someplace shady. Sometimes they don't move as much during the winter months either. If it looks sick, or isn't eating either you need to take it to a vet ASAP to make sure there isn't something wrong with it.
