They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.

If the earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move the east towards to west?

Its all relative to your point of reference... The earth rotates from west to east about its axis, or counter-clockwise looking down from a point in space above the north pole. You are standing on the earth, so you are also moving from west to east. You look up at the sun or stars, and they appear to move from east to west. Do this experiment... Stand still and look at some object in front of you. Pretend you are the earth and your head is the north pole. Turn slowly to your left (west to east) and you will notice that the object seems to move to your right (east to west).
