Because according to Newton, a body will continue in its motion, or its state of rest unless it is acted upon by another force. The moon's rotation is locked to face the earth, possibly because that side of the moon is more massive? Until some other force acts, that is how it is.
The moon exerts its effect upon the earths tides, both the oceans and the atmosphere, and the earth exerts its tides on the moon.
The moon appears to move when you move because of the concept of parallax. As you change your position on Earth, the angle at which you see the moon changes, creating the illusion that the moon is moving with you. Additionally, the Earth's rotation also contributes to the changing position of the moon in the sky as you move.
The Moon does not revolve directly around the Sun. It revolves around the Earth.
The Earth revolves around the Sun, taking the Moon with it. That is often called the "Earth-Moon" system.
The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun for the same reason anything else does.
The Sun's gravity pulls them.
Gravity combines with the inertia (the tendency for things to move in straight lines) of the Earth-Moon system to produce the nearly
circular orbit around the Sun, of the Earth-Moon system.
Well, actually it moves.
Quite fast.
Around the earth.
You probably mean : Why doesn´t it move AWAY from us?
It still does .... but very slowly.
Within our limited attention and life span, however, it looks as if centrifugal force and gravitation negate each other, so we get the feeling as if the moon orbits around earth on a stable path.
It moves because of the earth's rotation. The gravity of earth also make the moon move where you go.
It does rotate- however, it rotates at the same rate as it revolves around the Earth. This has the result of always having the same face turned to the Earth.

Why does the moon seem to move as you move?
The moon appears to move in the sky as you move because of its position relative to the Earth. As you change your viewpoint by moving, the angle at which you see the moon changes, causing it to appear to shift its position in the sky. In reality, the moon is staying in its orbit around the Earth.
Why does the flag on the moon move but there is no atmosphere?
