The candle moves because there is a change in mass.

Every time a drop falls, the whole thing is unbalanced.

When the candle burns, it loses its mass and the wax is converted into carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The force of the dripping wax produces a reaction equal to the thrust in the opposite direction.

The play of forces causes the displacement of the candle and the maintenance of the movement.
