Sometimes when I am playing chess, it won't let me move a pawn or anything. However whatever i do will not put my king in danger so why can't I?

That can happen if you're having connection issues.

If a piece is pinned to your king, then it can't move to allow an attack on your king.

In this position, two pieces are pinned to your black king:

1 - Your black queen is pinned to your king by the white e1 rook.

2 - Your black d7 pawn is pinned to your king by the white a4 bishop.
