So my issues are as follows:
X motor slips sometimes, and doesn't move smoothly. Once all axis are homed, they do not move manually. I haven't been able to get anything printed on this as of yet because of these issues, please help! The x-axis feels a little rough and skips in near the same place - is this an issue of not having enough bearing oil?

Folger Tech *what*, exactly? Prusa or Kossel?

Typically, for skipping, clean/polish/align/pray over the bum axis to free it up, check driver voltages, and if all else looks OK, and the motors are not overheating, turn up the drive voltage until it quits skipping . . .

If it's a Kossel, lube the stuffing out of the rails, and work them. If still bad, ask for replacements - apparently, the rails they use do have some duds . . .

Based on the wiring I would say its a dual extruder Prusa.

Are your belts tight? The path free of obstructions? I managed to create a skip on one of my Rostock carriages recently thanks to a poorly positioned zip tie.

It's a Prusa I3.
