My Pygame window will only update if my cursor is moving and is above the window.

import pygame

window_length = 1000
window_height = 600
dimensions = (window_length, window_height)
window = pygame.display.set_mode(dimensions)

WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
BLACK = (0,0,0)

main = True

x = 0
y = 0

while main:
    
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            main = False
            
        x += 1
            
        #redraw background
        pygame.draw.rect(window, BLACK, (0,0, window_length, window_height))
        pygame.draw.rect(window, WHITE, (x, y, 100, 100))
        pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()

I tried moving things around but nothing worked.

Unindent the code under the event loop. Right now, you're only doing the drawing code when there are events to loops through, like your mouse moving.

It should look like:

while main:

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            main = False

    x += 1

    #redraw background
    pygame.draw.rect(window, BLACK, (0,0, window_length, window_height))
    pygame.draw.rect(window, WHITE, (x, y, 100, 100))
    pygame.display.update()
