They move because they are both gravitationally bound. The Sun is bound to the Milky Way Galaxy and the Earth is bound to the Sun. Another way to put it is that they revolve around each others common center of gravity. What this mean is that, in the case of the Earth, it is falling toward the Sun's center of gravity but for every foot the Earth moves toward the Sun's center, the Sun moves a foot out of the way. The Sun is moving because it is falling toward the center of our galaxy. Again, it would make it to the center of our galaxy but for one reason. Our galaxy is moving toward the center of the Virgo Super Cluster.
