Well GJJ, I said you cannot accelerate up to the speed of light. As for moving your arm, at that speed, any movement you make would throw off the time dialation such that your moved part would either go much faster than your, or much slower than your body's average time. Either way, the result is most likely instantaneous death.
As for time dialation, as you move faster, your time slows down. The result is that everyone else would seem to be moving faster, not slower. Since your time is slower, and you cannot exceed the speed of light, distances begin to appear to be shorter. It gets really weird when you go that fast. The whole universe changes for you at those speeds. Also, since your time is slower, and yet you must have the same mass for yourself, anyone looking at you would see you as being more massive. This means that as you approach the speed of light, more and more energy is required to accelerate you since you are more massive. So much more that there just simply isn't enough to get you up to the speed of light.
