The revolution of stars about the center of the galaxy is like that of planets around the sun, only in a larger scale. The motion is caused by angular momentum (which derives ultimately from the Big Bang) and the stars are prevented from flying off in all directions by the gravitational field of the galaxy.

What do halo stars do differently from disk stars?
I assume, that a) by Halo stars, you mean high velocity stars, and b) by disk stars, you mean stars that stay within the galaxy (Normal stars).Halo stars are usually very old stars that do no orbit the centre of the Galaxy the same way that our Sun or other stars in a galaxy. Rather, they travel in elliptical orbits, which often take them well outside the plane of the Galaxy.
