Peyman,
the protein moves because the c.o.m. motion wasn't subtracted during the dynamics.

I think if it moves, then there is something more basic wrong, do you remove
your center of mass motion appropriately? is your box homogeneously
equilibrated? but if it does not move and it looks like as if it moved, then it's visual problem and not important! you could e.g. write something to cut the solvent molecules from one side and put them on the other side with some mapping dependant on your box type, if you would like to see your molecule at
the center.
btw, self diffusion is the diffusion of one molecule through others of its own kind, not through other molecules, solvent or else. if there is no chemical potential ( ~concentration ) difference, no mass transfer would take place.
