It depends what you mean by a field. If you imagine the field is made of wire-like filaments which are fastened to an atom then you would expect the field to translate and rotate whenever the atom translates and rotates. On the other hand if you imagine the field is a vector field then the field never really needs to move. Instead the direction of the magnitude of the vector at each point in space updates as the atom moves through that vector space. The way the vector field changes as the atom rotates and translates gives the appearance of a field that is moving as if it were fastened to the atom.
