There is no gravity in space so they just sort of float and every planet orbits around the sun and also helps them stay in place

Is it possible to make sky maps in which planets are connected with constellation for years?

Of course you can draw a planet in a constellation, and it will stay there - on the paper. But in the real sky, the planets will not stay in any constellation for a long time. They move around.To track the current position of a planet, nowadays you can use some software, for example, "Redshift".Of course you can draw a planet in a constellation, and it will stay there - on the paper.

Of course you can draw it on paper and it will stay there. But then it won't reflect the real sky; planets change from one constellation to another, sometimes within weeks or so.

Why on some occasions you can see the planets line up in the sky?

All of the planets orbit the sun at different rates, closer planets orbit quickly, while further planets orbit more slowly. They are all more or less on the same plane, so their paths in the sky will be similar to each other as the earth rotates. They sometimes appear to line up in the sky every now and then as they orbit at their different rates.
