The bottom of the carboy has the usual sediment on bottom but it is growing four to five inches up the side of the carboy. Does this usually happen often?I was hoping that it was alright I just was wondering what caused it. Looks like steaks growing up the side kind of the carboy.

I presume the total sediment is not 5 inches thick.
Then you would have a problem :D

I think that you mean to say that you have a layer of sediment as
usual and some sediment that grows like 'fingers' along the side
of the carboy.

I had that happening on several wines. Reds and whites.
It looks weird but is nothing to worry about.
