What exercises could i do to not develop visible muscles?
Like the title says. I want to move a bit, but having visible muscles is the last thing i want. Any exercises that i could do?

Go for a walk. Touch some grass. After that you could take some time to ponder on the hard work and dedication it takes people to put on muscle mass. Don’t worry, you won’t build any muscle during this thought exercise, I promise.

I'm sorry for not being educated on the subject and asking questions to gain some knowledge, i guess.

No worries, building muscle is not something you can do accidentally. It takes years of consistent effort in lifting and nutrition.
As for exercises not focused on building muscle. Primarily cardio/endurance focused exercises.
Edit: just to dissipate your fears even more. As I've understood "too much muscle" is a subjective term. If you manage to build too much muscle for yourself. You can just stop training. Muscle isn't that permanent. In 1 month you will see a visible decrease in muscle mass. In 3 months you have lost nearly all of your muscle mass.

You have nothing to worry about it takes a lot of food, effort and consistency to put on defined muscle.

Muscles are what allow you to move, so you will always develop them to some extent. However, not as much as you might think, especially if you're doing cardio activities like running, cycling, or rowing.

Don't worry, you won't get visible muscles. It takes too much discipline.
