It is definitely a common thing in the beginning of picking up the guitar. One thing to keep in mind to try to eliminate the creepy crawl is going at such a slow tempo (might be painfully slow at first) that you can just lift up and move all the fingers at once. Usually the reason you end up w the creepy crawl is because you can start playing parts of the next chord already. This works sometimes but may not be ideal for everything.

So, slow tempo and really take your time getting to know the voicings of the chords.
