Unselected vertices are moving along, and my proportional editing is off

Question

Hiya!

I am quite a newbie in modeling and 3D tools. (And.. Please excuse me beforehand for my English as I am not a native speaker.)

So my problem is, In the picture, I want to adjust the orange coloured selected vertices right there. Only those.

But when I try to move them, the red painted area moves along with the selected vertices.(it happens to the single vertex adjustment, I mean when I select single vertex and try to move it, next one moves along as well)

I think I might turn on some setting or whatever because it wasn't like that before, however, at some point it moves along with the selected vertices. I tried to find what's the problem. Some questions and answers are saying turn off the proportional editing button, but in my case, it isn't on.

What else could be the cause? I don't want to delete my save....

Welcome to Blender Stack Exchange! You've come to the right place. The reason you're seeing that is due to a setting in the subdivision surface modifier. It's the little button with the triangle on it (the one made of 3 dots). That changes how you can interact with the modifier. Enabling it as you have places the vertices on the smoothed mesh, but can make it harder to control as you see. Disabling it will make the base mesh more like a cage, with the smoothed high resolution mesh inside.
