Each of the stars in the Little Dipper is moving, but they are all moving in different directions. The same thing could be said about any constellation; all the stars have their own "proper motion". But they move so slowly that it takes centuries for the constellations to change much.

Your question doesn't make sense. To the right of what? The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major. The widely recognized "Dipper" rotates around the northern star (polaris) throughout the year. In Feb the dipper is high in the sky and appears upside down (fluid would spill out of the 'dipper'). in the summer it is low in the sky and would hold liquid. In the fall it is to the right of polaris tilting up. In the spring it is to the left of polaris tilting down. Above assumes viewing from the norhtern hemisphere.
