It seems to me that you can load/unload a certain number per movement point depending on how many landing bays you have. So the number of movement points it takes to load the fighters will depend on how many you are trying to pick up. It might be that your ship will still be loading fighters when the turn finishes and thus will not move further.

I base this on having had a carrier that was trying to drop fighters but still had some on board when the turn finished.
