I’ll plug in my iPhone to the fast charger and it’ll start charging. Then if I move my iPhone it’ll suddenly stop charging.

or I’ll have my headphones plugged in and it’ll work fine. But then I’ll put my iPhone in my pocket and start walking and my headphones will disconnect despite still Being plugged in
 
Definitely worth cleaning the charging port. I had issues with my old 5 where it wouldnt charge unless the cable was wedged at a certain angle. Cleaned the port and a load of fluff etc came out and was fine after that.
 
Lint can't get stuffed deep into the charge port preventing the lighting plug from fully inserting and locking.
Get s magnifying glass and look carefully inside held up to the light.
A wooden toothpick with the iPhone off makes a good lint remover.
Also charge cables can fail. Try another cable.
