Movement Script doesn't move the NPC?

In this script, it detects a player, then moves an NPC to it. Everything seems to be working, but the NPC doesn't move. What am I doing wrong?

01local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
02local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
03 
04function findNearestTorso(pos)
05    local list = game.Workspace:children()
06    local torso = nil
07    local dist = 10000
08    local temp = nil
09    local human = nil
10    local temp2 = nil
11 
12 
13    for x = 1, #list do
14 
15        temp2 = list[x]
16        print(temp2)
17        if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
18            temp = temp2:findFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
19            human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
20 
21            if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
22 
23                if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
24 
25                    torso = temp
26                    dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
27                end
28            end
29 
30        end
31    end
32    return torso
33end
34 
35 
36while true do
37    wait(1)
38    local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
39    if target ~= nil then
40        script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
41        print("moveto")
42    end
43end

Using standard pathfinding would work but would have some flaws. If you want to detect when a player joins a game a simple

[npcname].Humanoid:MoveTo(game.Players.[playername or localplayer])

but if you want it to move when the player gets a certain distance to it then a testfor a humanoid within a certain stud radius would work fine too.
