I been having this sharp center chest pain it usually hurts when I move. We always be lifting up patients at work so idk that's what it is please help.

I remember having to work as a nurse's aide and lift up on patients all the time.  I could not tell you how many patients I lifted, sometimes without any assistance available.  Usually it would be my lower back that would pay the price.  I hate to hear you are having chest pain.  If it occurs only when you move, it is probably a pulled muscle.  It wouldn't take much for that to happen, I assure you.  Ibuprofen would be the best med to take for muscle pain like this.  You could take 400 mg every 6 hours for the pain.  If you have a heating pad, placing it on the sore area will make it feel better, too.
