The Sun does move from North to South in the sky (or the other way) just a little bit each day. This is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun each day.
So, in the winter the Sun is lower in the sky than in the summer. In the Northern Hemisphere that means the Sun is further South in the sky.

What direction does the earth move around the sun?
If the sun rises in the East and sets in the west and we know that the sun doesn't move in the heavens then It has to be rotating anticlockwise as seen from the north pole. (Think about it!). Or if you're Australian Clock wise from the south Pole. (Added just to keep the antipodeans happy!)
When sun move from southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere?
The Sun moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere around March 20 (or March 21 during leap years) of each year. On this day the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north. It is called Spring Equinox and on this date the day and night are nearly equal 12 hours each all over the world and the earth's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north of the earth and the sun.
The sun appears to move across the sky each day is it true or false?
If by "seem to move" you are referring to perspective then it is true, since the Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun, if we do not know that it is the Earth that is moving, it would seem that stars move across the sky, except for the pole star Polaris, which is aligned with the north axis and remains "fixed" in its place.
Does the sun set?
Well, actually the sun does not go down. That's just the way it looks. It works by the earth spinning on its side and when the earth starts to look away from the sun the sun looks like it is going down. It is as simple as that!
