Does the moon follow you

No, the moon orbits the earth. Since the earth is spinning on its axis the moon appears to move across the sky; however, it is us that are moving, not the moon. Also, the reason behind the moon seeming perhaps to follow you as you walk along, is that it's so far away from us, that we do not notice the change in perspective (viewing angle). Theoretically, if you had a telescope powerful enough, you would see a slight difference between the perspective of the moon at, say, one side of a field, and the other. However, this is a tiny difference, which is why our perspective does not change as we travel, giving the impression that it is following us.
