DIO couldn't move in Jotaro's time stop because DIO's time stop limit was 11 seconds, and Jotaro stopped time at the 9th second. So DIO had run out of the amount of time he could move in stopped time, while Jotaro still had 3 or so seconds left of his time stop to use.

And Jotaro could only slightly move his finger the first time he experienced DIO's time stop, and then that extended to 1 or 2 seconds with practice. So the same goes for DIO. He can only stop and move in stopped time for 11 seconds, while Jotaro could only do it for 5 seconds in Part 3. Before DIO had realised Jotaro could stop time as well, his time stop had run out and his shock, coupled with the inexperience of moving past his 11-second limit like with Jotaro when he could only move 1 or 2 seconds in DIO's time stop, meant that he wasn't fast enough to react and Jotaro managed to get a fatal punch in with his Star Platinum.
