ok, so what do I do?

First, please answer my question from above...."What is the denomination on that Form 4 tax stamp?"
I ask because that will affect my answer.

Do I take the form down to my local BATF office and say "hey can you look at this for me? Is this legit?"
|
Never.
Do that and you risk immediate confiscation of the firearm if it is configured in a manner different than how it is registered.

Should I disassemble the whole weapon down to the stripped receiver til I find out? or can I just take the collapsible stock off and replace it with a pistol brace til I can find out?
|
Remove the shoulder stock for sure.
As its not a pistol, replacing the stock with a pistol brace may not have the result you think it will.

Really stuck here, went through the whole process when I got this. Can't remember exactly how long I waited but wanna say it was a couple of months before I got to pick it up.

You aren't stuck, you just have a firearm that currently doesn't seem to meet the definition of AOW.

Also, just changed addresses within my state. Should I send the change of address before I go talk to them?

You can, I'm not sure what difference it will make.
I recommend that you not speak with any local ATF office, but with the NFA Branch directly.
The questions I would ask first:
"What the heck is an "A.O.W Pistol unit with collapsible stock" and why would ATF approve a Form 1 for the original maker with that description?"
The reason is "A.O.W Pistol unit with collapsible stock" does not meet any definition of an NFA firearm.
