It's completely normal for you to feel anxious before something like a job interview. It's also normal to feel a bit scared of the possibility of moving jobs.

You're going out of your comfort zone - the comfort zone being your job or whatever is going on in your life. And when you do get out of your comfort zone, you will be uneasy and unsure, and that's just part of the process, and it's okay.

No matter what happens, you took that initial step and got yourself a job interview. Many others don't even take that step - employed or not. Be proud of yourself of that, and learn to understand and enjoy the process rather than thinking "I will be happy at X part of the process".

Once you crack this, people will think you are a monk with how peaceful and happy you are :D
