Time is measured in turns not seconds
In D&D 5e, movement and actions do not consume time, they consume actions. The game is inherently turn based. Actions happen in sequence, with each happening completely before the next can begin. The one exception is Readied Actions, which may interrupt other actions during a turn.

I gave it a little thought and decided that the rules do offer something for this: crawling. I would take a fish (or any other aquatic creature limited to only swim speed) out of water as being prone, moving only 5' as a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity and receiving all the penalties from being prone. And as mentioned above, there is the ...

In 5e, your 6 second combat round isn't "do all of A then do B".

30 feet isn't very far; a human can easily cross that distance in 3 seconds.
What they did was move at a full run 5 feet forward, duck and ...

They cannot hide after attacking on their turn.
The rules in the PHB are clear that you need to take the Hide action if you want the enemy to not know where you are, even while invisible.
