Theres a chance you wont see anything at day 4, if you do its tiny veins and small spot

I just candled some eggs a few days ago that were on day four and I could see some development, If you have a a good flashlight most of the time you can see some sort of development within the egg. If the egg is a darker color or is dirty it's going to be harder to see than a clean white egg.

If it moves, is that just the yolk and is that normal?

At day 4, Only the yolk is going to be moving.

Ok and according to the picture, it will be pretty light inside?

That's depends on the egg shell color and it's dirtiness. Most of the time you can see whats going on pretty well with a good flashlight.
