Hello. If the knocking only occurs when the vehicle is moving then you either have an engine mount issue or a suspension problem. A knocking is usually the result of bad starts, a loose ball joint, or a bad bushing.
To diagnose this, I would get the vehicle in the air to inspect these parts for wear. Any of these can be bad and cause this. If those are all fine then the engine mounts need to be checked.
