It doesn't. The sun is moving at a huge speed through space as it orbits the Milky Way's centre.

The sun appears to stay still in the sky because Earth rotates on its axis. This rotation creates the illusion of the sun moving across the sky from east to west. In reality, the sun is always in motion, with Earth's rotation giving us the perception of a stationary sun.
