You can try the "Convert to Ship" button in the info tab of the K menue (the terminal of the station) .

Edit:
There is one option in the world setting called "Unsuported Stations" usualy that is the reason.

But since the last major update the "trigger" that converts stations to ships automaticly when they are no longer supported seams to be not fully funktional, in those cases you have to do that yourself.

its also the physics engine sometimes i think. you need to give something a push or "wiggle" to get them moving.

Yeah I built a large rover to explore earth with and when i removed the landing leg holding it up, it hovered there. Had to hop into it and covert it to a ship.

Ok I'm sorry for responding to this so late (plz don't report me) but where do I even find that setting of "convert to ship"?
Open the control pannel K then go to info tab top middle convert to ship should be on the right in that menu :)

Ps there is also a setting on the save screen for unsupported stations. This means anything thats a ststion simply wont move at all. I play with it off so that my stations can move and require thrusters and gyros to keep still :)

One more question if I already have no supports on my building and I uncheck it will it immediately fall over
I think so. Once you change the setting and load again anything not supported should fall. To be sure just extend some blocks into the ground before or make a new save to test it :)
