Usually, the needle bar moving means that the bobbin winder spindle (with the bobbin) wasn't moved all the way to the right. If you moved the spindle, then there may be a damaged part inside the sewing machine below the spindle. (The spindle may not be engaging the winding mechanism which stops the needle bar.) I've found the bobbin winder is still available at one parts store: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bobbin-winder-janome-653508015.aspx . However, there may be other damage inside the machine that could be involved.
See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/994905/Janome-Decor-Excel-5018.html?page=24#manual for the pictures of moving the bobbin winding spindle.
I hope this helps.

Once you have the thread guided and the bobbin is on the thread winder spindle, push the bobbin to the right. The machine will not sew again until the spindle is in the left position.

try a new needle
rethread the machine top & bobbin, that way you make sure the thread is not caught anywhere
make sure the bobbin is correctly inserted in the machine
clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for loose thread & lint
always keep a long thread tail of 3 to 5 inches long, & keep the tails pulled back behind the needle
before sewing
if none of these things help the problem,, then it may need to be serviced
