Each individual object (such as a star) revolves around the galactic center according to the laws of celestial mechanics. As a result, the objects closer to the center of the galaxy take less time for a complete revolution than the objects further out; the galaxy rotation is differential, meaning it does not rotate as if it were a solid object.

Do you move around the Galaxy or does the Galaxy move around us?
none of those. milky way is a part of the galaxy and our solar system is a part of it. in this solar system the planets revolve around the sun and rotate on thier own axis
Do planets orbit the sun?
Yes. The Sun in turn orbits the galaxy. Planets and the Sun also rotate on their axes.
