What do you do when someone refuses to move?

Tell them "If you were gonna use all of your time anyway, you should have used it to check your moves". They might resign after that XD

You have nothing else to do than wait. They will lose on time or you will finally win, in months :(
I agree.
There is an option if you click their profile and then 'report' to flag the option for stalling/quitting. Beyond that there's nothing you can do but wait it out or pay with your score.
I impatiently wait it out.
All they do is die less bravely than most would.

On line chess has time limits even if it’s a 7 day game after seven days You’ll get the win if your opponent doesn’t move if it’s across the board they should make a move what are they even playing for than if not
I know
Considering I play G60 and this can actually be a long time and some people will run the whole clock when losing... It's a good time to do the dishes, fold clothes, watch Youtube, etc. Whatever. All you can do is let the clock run.
After the game ends report them for stalling. Just wait patiently and do NOT resign because of these reasons:
1. You lose rating
2. You encourage people to stall more often.
Is there a way to block these players so you don't get matched against them again?
Shocked by the topic and the comments. When I suddenly stop moving it is because I realize I am in a really bad position and try my very best to find a move to better my position. The more time to think the more the chance to find such move. It is the most teachable part of the game. Why be so salty and assume the other player is trying to piss you off? It is not like it is evident that’s the case. It is common sense: the longer the time to think, the more accurate the move. Hence the higher accuracy with games with longer time. Am I missing something?

If you are down, say, a queen, against equal opposition, it's not a "teachable position" it's a lost one.
If you run the whole clock and move at the last minute, hoping your opponent left, you aren't trying to find the best move.
If you don't do those things, you aren't what's being discussed here.
When someone refuses to move i just open another tab in another chess playing website and play while waiting
