Five billion years ago, the original disk of gas and dust from which celestial bodies were formed had a certain momentum. This momentum was conserved and when dust and gravel pulled together to build the planets the momentum turned into angular momentum. This caused the original rotation that is still visible today. There are very few and weak forces that are slowing rotation.

because the planets' gravity pull them so that they do not go away and the moons revolve around them with a constant speed so they stay in their orbit
Why do all the planets and most of the moons revolve counterclockwise?
That's how it's tilted on the axis .
Do the moons orbit around the sun?
No, moons do not orbit the sun directly; they orbit planets. As planets revolve around the sun, their moons follow elliptical paths around them. This means that while moons are indirectly influenced by the sun's gravity through their parent planets, they are primarily in orbit around those planets.
What moons revolve around other planets?
The DEFINITION of a moon includes that it's an object that revolves around a planet.Most of the planets in our Solar System have several moons; for example, Mars has the tiny moons Phobos and Deimos.
