I tried removing the quick mask in the channel side bar and also uncheck "edit in quick mask mode" but I still cannot stop the pop up saying "Could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden". I cannot draw any objects or move them. What should I do?

You are getting an error because you are in  "Quick mask edit mode". There are few ways to exit. You can, for example, use button or delete layer as well.

All have been listed on blog.i-evaluation.com, article: “Could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden” – Photoshop Warning

Hope that helps!

ps. My first post on adobe forum. Hope I helped someone.
