What could cause a squishy moveable lump in my neck? could it be triggered by anxiety?

Neck mass: This is not anxiety related. All neck masses should be evaluated by a doctor in person as soon as possible.

Not likely. This: is a question for your physician. Docs will palpate and probably take some pictures of this area to properly diagnose. Treatment follows from that. Anxiety can cause 33 symptoms, many of which are physical, but lumps are generally not in this batch of symptoms.
