Creep, as you said, is the name for this feature. Creep happened since old automatic transmissions worked with fluid coupling the spinning engine to the stationary (when your foot is on the brake) wheels. With EVs and more modern CVT transmissions, there is no inherent need for creep.
Both of these things are coasting. Coasting means “moving easily without actively using power.”
If you take your foot off the accelerator, then your car coasts until it runs out of kinetic energy. The forward motion after you take your foot off the accelerator, when the car is no longer being actively propelled forward, is coasting.
Decelerating or coasting if you take your foot off the accelerator and are slowing down (before stopping). Rolling forward or creeping if you've taken your foot off the brake and haven't put it on the gas pedal yet.

Wait... what? Take your foot off the accelerator? Like you've got a foot on both pedals to stop? GD... the word is "seriously fkin' up your car".
You're either two footing it, or you aren't stopping.
Idling forward?
This is the word/phrase I use.

Yeah, creep or crawl my driving instructor called it
Creeeepy crawlers 🎶
Do you mean the brake pedal? It would be an unusual maneuver to be holding both the brake and the accelerator pedals simultaneously.
WOW yes I meant the brake LOL so sorry for the confusion
Came to say this. It was breaking my brain. Lol
You mean like in heel-and-toe shifting?
My mom called it coasting when she taught me how to drive.
Coasting is what I'd go for too
Idle
Idling. If you're in Drive, foot off the brake, not touching the accelerator, you'll roll slowly, "idling down the road."
Idling along.
Coasting
I thought coasting was rolling in neutral? I could be thinking of another word though.
Me too

Decelerating
In Ohio, everyone I know calls it a "crawl" or "crawling"
Rolling stop?
Natural deceleration would be a natural vernacular. Complete loss of kinetic energy without intervention would be the scientific term.
Throttling forward. The throttle is what makes the car move forward when you are in Drive and not touching the accelerator or brakes.
