Probably RCT treated tooth with cap might be moving because a loosened cap will not stay for months. Pain, bleeding associated with RCT treated tooth are suggesting secondary infection below the tooth so consult your dentist, have thorough examination with X ray and get a solution.

Hi
Get your crown fixed ASAP . Its quite long time and it's not advisable to wait. If the cap is not fitting then you should redo it. The bleeding from gums over your cap might be due to any sharp margin or gum infection .
