Help I linked all my games with Link2SD, but the internal storage doesn't move.

If you don't have either Superuser or SuperSU, what happened to them? You wouldn't have been able to run Link2SD without one or other.
Custom ROMs usually support init.d already (it's something any worthwhile developer would include). But I don't have any experience of that phone model, so don't know what is available for that model (and you'd want a custom recovery to install one). I don't know what you mean by "reformatting the phone" - a factory reset won't do it (that just erases user-installed apps and data, doesn't affect the system in any way).

Apart from modifications to the ROM (i.e. root itself and the init.d mod) a factory reset will do that: "factory reset" just means "erase all user apps and data, including settings". To return completely to the original state you would need to flash a set of official software over the existing ROM (the safest and cleanest way to unroot).
Note: accepting official "over the air" updates to a rooted device is risky. These are patches which are designed for unmodified phones, and rooting has modified your ROM. This makes the results of applying an OTA update to a rooted phone unpredictable. So if you want to accept an update it's probably best to unroot as above before doing this (but check whether the updated software can be rooted first, or else you might lose root for longer than you intended!).

This thread lost me! 
One thing I always make sure when purchasing a new phone or tablet.....that I have enough internal storage for the apps I want to use. even if it means spending a few more bucks.

Maybe you are not. You didn't have a /system/etc/init.d folder, and you installed Link2SD without init.d support, so it might not be enough to enable it now - though I'd hoped it would be.
Does Link2SD have an option to re-initialise things, remount the partition, etc? It's years since I used it.
And do any of those options work? Recreate the mount scripts, for example, or relinking files?
I had hoped that fixing Link2SD would resolve it by itself 
There are a couple of suggestions for dealing with it here. A slightly more nuclear approach is discussed here. For dealing with it app-by-app then this XDA thread has a procedure.
