I switch of the pump while cleaning it and for some reason sediment
started to stir up, is this normal? Why does this happen?

Depends on where the pump is located at. Still water, solids settle, even
in very clear water there will be some. When you start up the pump, the
water moves and puts the solids back into the water column again. Once they
spread out it appears once again to be clear. ;o) ~ jan
