The Earth doesn't orbit the Moon, and the Moon doesn't orbit the Earth; instead, both of them orbit their common center of mass, the "barycenter". The barycenter of the Earth-Moon system is INSIDE the Earth - so the Moon is a satellite of the Earth, not the other way around.

If the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system were outside of the Earth, in space between them, then technically they would be "co-planets", not a planet and a moon.
