   Theres a securing bolt that holds the disc to the hub while the wheels off. But they tend to be a pain to get out, so most people take them out when needed and leave them off. As once the wheels back on. Its held secure anyway.

   So if I took my wheel of and the disc could move what would that mean?

   That would mean your brakes aren't locked on! Which is how it should be when you don't have your foot on the brake

   No they turn with the wheel. if you have problems aligning the bolt holes when putting the wheel back on. Get someone to put foot on brake while aligning the wheel. That will hold the disc still

    As Ed says, there's meant to be two little screws that go through, that are usually a PITA when you're changing the discs, so get drilled out most of the time, all they do is stop it from spinning when you're re-fitting the wheels, they're of no real importance.
