Dear Prof. Hutter,
Thanks for your reply! I have considered your suggestion of CUTOFF, 
functional and GAPW and smoothened density. The result is as follows.

(1) If we only increase CUTOFF,  or  or change the functional from BLYP to 
PBE, the Na atoms are still fixed.
(2) With the GAPW, the Na atoms moves.
(3)  And for the test we increase CUTOFF, change the functional to PBE, use 
GAPW and XC_SMOOTH_RHO, the Na atoms moves. The trajectory for 0.36 ps is 
shown here.

So the main reason is I did not use GAPW before.
PS: 
--Because this is a test model,  I still kept the long range correction. 
For the NLCC pseudopotentials, after reading  Alex Willand et al  's paper 
(2013). I also did not use the NLCC pseudopotentials. (
