Yes, the moon rotates aound it's axis, but it doees that in the same time as it orbits our planet - this is why only one side of the moon faces us (the near side).

What causes planets to spin on their axes?

Planets spin on their axes due to the conservation of angular momentum, which is a fundamental principle in physics. As planets formed from rotating clouds of gas and dust in space, their rotation continued as they condensed and solidified. This spinning motion is what causes planets to rotate on their axes.
