For some reason the little shark embryo isn't wiggling around today like it normally does. This is the first time I've seen it inactive.
Should I be worried about this or is it normal?

You will see it resting from time to time. Very normal thing to have happen. Based on the size of the yolk sac, you have awhile to wait before it hatches.

do they really hatch on full moons?

Only if there happens to be a full moon when it pops out.
They'll hatch when they are developed enough to survive.
 
I haven't seen it for a few hours, but when I saw it this morning it was barely moving. It looked like it was resting on the yolk and would make an occasional twitch.

Right now the yolk is about as big around as a nickel or so, and the embryo is maybe an inch long and as thick as a toothpick, so I'm not sure how much longer it will be. I'm assuming 5-7 weeks but I have no clue honestly

Probably closer to 7 than 5. You'll see a full 'shark pup' smashed inside and no yolk at all right before it hatches. The stripes will be very clear and you can even see gill slit movement.
 
well ur first problem is worrying.. dont start doing things to the tank that might affect something. , the shark is prolly fine. even when a baby is in a womb , it isn't constantly kicking ,
