I am trying to play some scales but it seems that when I move my left hand from one string to the next, the string vibrates, it's sort of like a mini pull-off, it's throwing my concentration off. Are you suppose to mute the string somehow after you take your finger off, I'm not sure what I doing wrong.
Thanks
Welcome to GN, Ace!
Possibly it's just that you haven't quite developed a light touch yet - it'll come, in time, and with practise, you'll automatically develop the knack of damping (or muting) unwanted strings.
:D :D :D

Could be in the technique. I believe that the finger should be pulled straight off each time and without any movement or deflection in the string.

I have tried in my way to be free.
Try and play slowly. Sometimes playing too fast can cause you to inadvertently pull on the string when switching to another

I totally agree with you - probably it's the only reason of that the string vibrates when Ace55 moves his left hand from one string to the next one.
So my advice is to practise, practise and practise :D.
And practice slow and clean, probably with a metronome. Only speed up what you can play cleanly.
Best,
