Okay so then I do have my motors wired correctly, I have them as pins order 1,3,4,6. I have the two wires for a coil on one side and two wires for the other coil on the other side. I checked the voltage the motor was getting to make sure and when I put my meter over the two leftmost wires(B+ and B- or wires 1 and 3) and got a voltage of 12.8 and the same when I put it over the other two wires. So could this be a problem with my drivers or board? I don't think it could be my drivers because none of them work but I don't know if that really means anything. I guess we could safely assume the motors are getting enough amperage and that wouldn't be the problem, unless the shaft not moving may indicate that, but it isn't turn able when there is a current on it. It also can't be the motors since all 5 do not work, would the endstops be causing this? I just unplugged them since they were in the way but that shouldn't matter if I'm just jogging the motors right? It should't make a difference with the extruder driver anyway which tries to move but is super weak and can't.

The extruder shouldn't move unless you have cold extrusion allowed. XYZ won't move correctly unless homed, they will jog one way but not the other and sometimes weird things can happen. Have you set steps correctly? You really can't just any motor movement until you have the steps set because you are sending a length of unit for the motor to move and with the steps incorrect, it may not appear to work correctly.
