I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moving quickly' is the definition.
'hotfooting' can be an answer for 'moving' (hotfooting is a kind of moving). I am not sure about the 'quickly' bit.

'to hog if not disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'to'+'hog'+'if'+'not'='tohogifnot'
'tohogifnot' anagrammed gives 'HOTFOOTING'.
