The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
Gravity is what keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth and also what keeps the Earth-Moon system in orbit around the Sun. It is also the force that tries to contract the Sun leading to the immense pressures in its core which is required for nuclear fusion.
The moon orbits the Earth instead of the Sun because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, rather than being pulled towards the Sun.
it holds the planets that orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).

The earth by its gravitational pull keeps the moon in its orbit. The earths gravitational pull and the Moon's inertia creates a force called the centripetal force which keeps the Moon in orbit.
The balance between the inertia of the Moon and the gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit with Earth.
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
Gravity and Inertia keeps the earth in orbit
The Moon does not orbit the Sun. It orbits the Earth.
