I took a sightseeing flight around Mt Everest (within the last year). The flight crew explicitly told everyone to move to one side of the plane while we were in the air. I doubt everyone moving side to side when the plane isn’t taking off or landing is going to automatically cause a crash.

Not a crash, but having a few thousand pounds of cargo shift from side to side will be noticed. But what can actually cause a crash is moving front-to-back. Shift 200 people, say 40,000lbs of cargo, front to back can disrupt the cg enough to cause real trouble.
