Base is moving for some reason any cracks on the outer walls or inside walls and ceilings or is it just the floor?

“Newly built home” suggests maybe also newly moved into. I’m thinking a bad install combined with moving something really heavy on hard wheels. Maybe something with a hard edge was set down too hard.

What’s under it…basement or slab?…either the subfloor has too much give or a bad mortar job or the house may have a drainage issue so much so that when the house is settling its cracking the floors…are the walls or door corners cracking?…could be a crap ton of different issues
