I noticed lately my drone, has been drifting alot when i have it in a hover about 10ft? I have checked my IMU and Gyro and its all green. Not sure not what is causing the wind is calm?

I would appreciate any help.

The first thing I would ask is how high you were flying , if it was low I.e. within a couple of metres altitude VPs could be a problem 1 if light is not sufficient 2 if the ground is not textured enough for VPs to lock so causing aircraft to move.
If this is not the case it could be you need to try an IMU calibration , you could also do VPS calibration if you think that might be a problem.

Thanks for the quick reply, I will try a VPS calibration, I flying over my wooden deck, I was flying about 10-30ft above ground. I try and do an IMU calibration later since I have big event to cover with my drone.

If you are taking off off your deck it might be an issue. You might have metal, nails, support. before calibrating try a different location.
