Stopping setVelocityX

Is there anyway that I can stop setVelocity I tried using if statements and iterator where if a certain condition is met it wont be called but nothing happens it just keeps running. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated

var movingPlatform = {

  moveRight : function(){
    platforms.setVelocityX(100)
  },
  moveleft : function(){
     platforms.setVelocityX(-100);
    }
  }

  var move = true;

  if(move = true){
    movingPlatform.moveRight()
  }

  if(move = false){
    movingPlatform.moveleft();
  }

 
 if(platforms.x <= platformMinX){
   move = true;       
  }

  if(platforms.x >= platformMaxX){
    move = false;         
  }
