Hello Jasmine, my name is John, nice to meet you.
To answer your question both are correct and mean the same thing. Natively in the US we use both interchangeably.
I hope this helps.

Wait a moment - everydayish
Wait for a moment - more standardized

Both are correct. The emphasis is different. "Wait a moment" puts the emphasis on the waiting. "Wait for a moment" puts the emphasis on the time period, a moment.
"Wait a moment" is close to just plain "wait".
"Wait for a moment" is close to "one moment, please".

I think "just a moment" is also useful

I also agree that āwait a momentā is correct.
