Hello,
It sounds like the cooling fans may not be operating properly.
As when the vehicle is at a standstill there is no/little air going thru the radiator, but as it moves the air flow cools the ending down.
This vehicle has a mechanical cooling fan which is controlled by a fan clutch, the clutch can be defective and not engaging the fan blade.
Take a look at these articles on fan clutch:

Another possibility is a bad water pump, as it is unable to circulate coolant thru the engine.

It is probably not a thermostat as if it were the thermostat stuck closed the temperature would not have changed whether the vehicle is stationary or moving.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
