2 weeks ago, bowling terrible, my track was high, very close to the fingers and thumb. I realized then that I wasn't coming around the ball. After seeing my coach, I now come around the ball, but my track is moving away from my fingers and thumb. I am putting more on it, and once again bowling decent.
Why is it moving, due to my release? Also, why does it move, and whats the difference between low, medium, and high track?

Yes it is due to your release. By rotating your wrist (coming around the ball) you increase the axis tilt.
Axis tilt: see http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=67442&ForumID=16&CategoryID=5
Distance from the first oil ring to the holes:
Full Roller: Goes between
High-roller/High-tracker: Within a half inch or sometimes hits the thumb
Semi-roller: 0,5 to 3 inches
Low-roller/low-tracker: 3 to 5 inches
High-spinner: 5 to 7 inches
Low-spinner: more than 7 inches
The more tilt you have the more skid you get. Less tilt, earlier roll..
Semi-roller is "usually" the most desired type of track. It has fair amount of spin to retain enough energy to increase the backend and create more pin action on many conditions. However, one can benefit with any of them above if the condition calls for it.
Hope this helps,
