I was snuggling with Daisy(dog) on my bed when Dad came to tuck me in later. He scooched Daisy over gently and lay down next to me on the blanket.

"Is everything okay, sweetness?" Mom said. She wanted to sit down beside me but Daisy was hogging the bed. "Excuse me, Daisy." She sat down, nudging Daisy over

Do both scooch and nudge mean push?

"Scooch over" and "nudge over" are both being used to describe getting the dog to move by gently pushing it away from the spot it's occupying.

I would change "is everything okay, sweetness?" for "is everything okay, sweetie?".
