I didn't test Godot 4 so I don't know if things changed, but in Godot 3 the keys to move/pan the camera (by default w,a,s,d when Right clicking) are handled by the GridMap to rotate and delete cells. Similar issues of conflicting hotkeys were reported in the past.

In Godot 3 you can press Esc to de-select the current cell, see if that still works. Alternatively, I don't know if it's still there, but in Godot 3 there is the following option Editor Settings > Editors > 3D > Navigation > Emulate 3 Button Mouse. This allows to rotate/pan the camera even with a cell selected.

Yeah, deselecting the current cell fixes the issue, but also shows how inconvenient it is to handle grid maps.
Movement of the camera is kind of crucial when messing with it, even more if one's creating a large map.
