Is Bach, J S: Prelude I in C from the Well Tempered Clavier, I consider a movement?

Yes, For all of the Well Tempered clavier pieces Bach wrote each key in a two movement format. The first movement is the Prelude which usually uses a single rhythmic pattern for each measure, feels improvised acts like an introduction to the second movement, the fugue.
