Why don't ionic compound in solid state conduct electricity? Why does it need to move freely to conduct electricity?

In the solid state, electrostatic forces hold the ions together in a crystal lattice structure, which is, in short, a 3D interconnected ion network. A solid ionic compound does not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move. This flow of ions depicted immediately above is an electric current.
