Stirring instead of shaking?

Not really a great idea, your introducing 02 during your fermentation and that is something you really want to avoid. If you don't want to shake the bucket get an 02 wand it's easier and more effective but what your doing is opening to door for off flavors. Your beer may be fine but I would not repeat this practice again if I were in your shoes.
Hello @Babywayne and welcome to the HBT forums. This section of the forums is for introductions. You will likely get more help by posting to the Beginners Beer Brewing or General Homebrew Discussion section.
Ideally you would not stir once fermentation has started.

Iam real confused about pouring the beer back an fourth from my bucket to the carboy
Welcome to HBT.
Welcome You want to introduce lots of oxygen into the wort to help the yeast ferment it. You can shake the vessel, use a drill and an attachment that will get air into the wort, an oxygen kit etc. After that you want to keep the vessel closed. Any further addition of oxygen is bad. It could oxidize the beer and possibly make it taste like wet cardboard. (whatever that tastes like)

I think nobody can think much of anything without a picture or a good description of the weird things.
Cloudy is not necessarily bad. How does it taste? Post a pic if you can, We cannot tell much by just the description. Too much good beer is dumped because it MIGHT be bad - and usually isn't.
It sit for 10 days..but when mixed in the sugar i bottled it there was a lot of stuff on the bottom
Most brewers leave the trub (sediment) behind.
How to Brew
Or his modernized 4th Ed. book (Amazon, BN, etc.).
Describe where you added the sugar. The process of bottling is usually to transfer the beer to a bottling bucket leaving the sediment in the primary behind, mixing in the sugar solution and bottling right away. If you added sugar to the primary it would really stir up the sediment then be very cloudy, With time in the bottles it should clear again but you might have a large layer of sediment in the bottom of the bottles.
