Since photons move at $c$, do they experience time or distance? If they don't, doesn't this explain action at a distance? From the point of view of the photons, there is no time, so the action at a distance must happen instantly. It only seems weird from our point of view.

There is no "point of view of the photons", you can't attach a frame of reference to them. Best if you imagine the photons as waves, and as these waves are propagating with $c$.

The classical time dilatation, length contraction formulas (you know, everywhere the $\frac{1}{\sqrt(1-\frac{v^2}{c^2})}$ in them) are defined only for macro-sized objects going below $c$.
