What happens when you are making a decision is that some electrons go one way in your brain cells instead of another way. That is what a decision is.

And even if so, when I decide not to move my hand and instead remain motionless, where do these electrical impulses go?

They die in your brain, or are re-used, and you move on to your next thought.

At some point, conscious thought has to be converted into physical form in terms of electricity of some sort.

A conscious thought *is* electricity (as well as chemistry). It does not have to be converted.

Where does that electricity come from a millisecond before it is released by the thought?

A millisecond before your thought, this electricity is probably somewhere in the unconscious part of your brain, the part which actually creates the thought.
You can learn a lot about yourself by knowing the basics of neurosciences, and its links to psychology. Give it a try!
