If you stay at the same place on the moon and don't move around, then
you see the sun rise, take two weeks to slowly cross the sky, then set at
the opposite horizon, and stay gone for another two weeks. A closer figure
is 29.53 days for the complete day-night cycle.
If the Earth is in the sky as seen from where you are on the moon, then it's
always there, in virtually the same place without ever moving. It never sets,
and it displays a full set of phases every 29.53 days. If the Earth is not in the
sky from where you are, then it never rises, and you never see it at all.
What makes the Moon unique in this regard is that while it always faces its face toward Earth, it's period of rotation [around it's axis] is the same as it's period of revolution [around the Earth]; as in one rotation per revolution.
The moon circles the earth once every 28 days approximately. It keeps the same face towards the earth at all times and so as it circles the earth this means that, relative to the sun, it rotates once on its axis in this time.
Therefore the moon shows its rear side towards the sun when it is a new moon (and the face of the moon facing earth is dark), and its earth-facing sun towards the sun when it's full moon (and the moon is bright).
This new moon and full moon cycle lasts once every fourteen days.
Therefore the moon's night is 14 earth days long, and its day is also 14 earth days long.
The moon does not have day and night in the same way Earth does. One side of the moon always faces Earth while the other side is always dark. This is known as synchronous rotation.
