There was probably a small amount settled in the center of the keg.Giving it a swirl around has mixed it up.
you will soon gauge how much is left by picking the keg up gently.
 
Not so, there's usually a bit of sludge in the bottom of mine when they're empty. I fact it seems to sit away from the pick up pipe as my beer is usually good from the first pint to the last. The has been the odd exception when there must be more yeast and annoyingly whilst not paying attention the keg runs out just as I've nearly poured a whole pint only to have it wrecked by a load of sludge coming out of the tap 😫
 
If you must move a keg you need to give 12-24 hours to settle again before you pour. Best not to move it and have a full one next to it just in case.

The last pint I pour usually has some crap in it and there is about a table spoon in the bottom of the keg..

Had similar last week having dragged the keezer about the brewshed. I am seriously considering devoting one cornie to letting all the cr@p settle out and then transferring to another keg for dispensing so that it can be more portable.
