Okay, so recently my xbox has been giving me these "Disc unreadable, please clean disc reinsert and restart" and on some games it says "Play DVD" and they're not DVD. It's really starting to piss me off, because I'll be right in the middle of a game and it will say this. I've had this Xbox for about a year now and played numerous hours on it in the past and it's never done this. There isn't anything wrong with the discs or anything. I'm thinking of trying a laser lens cleaner. Maybe there's dirt on it or something. Or am I wrong? :|

Contact Microsoft. Often (from what I've heard) if you move it around a lot something can get lose and will cause the tray not to sit in right. Well that's what I've been told.

yeah I have moved it from a bottom side of a table to the ground. That's about it. Also, it's an Arcade.

Actually it's more likely the laser is going out.
You can try one of those cleaner disks if you wish, but it probably won't work.
If your Xbox is still under warranty I'd send it in to be repaired, if it's not under warranty, I'd still call Xbox Support to see how much it would cost (To see if it'd be cheaper just to buy a new 360).

You might be able to replace the broken part yourself. I think lasers are like $25 and full disc drives are around $70.

If you have no warranty, it's $100.
