There are many potential things that this could be, attention deficit disorder is a possibility; however the 'lose focus' is somewhat nonspecific. Do you have problems maintaining attention in other circumstances or only in class? If it is only in class then it is likely NOT ADD (unless there are other factors you did not mention.)

It may be tourette's, although you would expect other symptoms as well, such as tics. This disorder is often comorbid with OCD and ADD-like behavior.

You may have restless legs: do your legs begin to itch/feel crawly when you need to move? what happens when you don't move them?

You may have a circulatory problem or a back problem that is solved by walking/shifting postures; again, what happens if you force yourself to sit still?
Have you ever been able to sit in a comfortable chair for a long time? What about lying down?

It may be boredom.

If you are really worried, I would suggest going to a doctor/psychiatrist/psychologist and describing your symptoms, then you can find out for sure if it is something. You may also wish to examine literature on the above ideas to see if you have any other symptoms. Do be warned, this can turn you into a hypochondriac, enjoy!

Maybe ADHD cuz u cant sit still and cant focus too much

sounds like attention deficit disorder. or the hyper version. see a gp

i cant focus at school either and i always cant wait till go home! lol ur probably getting up from ur chair just coz ur bored lol it gives u something to do i suppose!
