Try https://www.autohotkey.com/ I think CompUSA carries it as well.

I've been using autohotkey to emulate emacs movement for some time. I have a key setup to toggle it on and off for when I need to print etc

The last time I checked, I could use shifted and unshifted arrow keys, shifted and unshifted ctrl-arrow keys, page up and down to navigate in Google Sheets. IOW, Google already got your back. There's no C-x C-x of course but that is an Emacs thing so I wouldn't be hopeful.

I don’t want to leave the home row for up down left right

Sorry to hear that you fell for the home row efficiency meme. Jokes aside, you will quickly get irritated that you don't have other kinds of Emacs navigation. At best, an emulation/translation layer is a flimsy band-aid on top of a fracture.
