The sun appears to move across the sky each day is it true or false?

If by "seem to move" you are referring to perspective then it is true, since the Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun, if we do not know that it is the Earth that is moving, it would seem that stars move across the sky, except for the pole star Polaris, which is aligned with the north axis and remains "fixed" in its place.

Why does the sun seem to move in the east and set in the west?

Because as you stand there, the earth turns your face from west to east. As time goes on through the day and night, you have to turn your face farther to the west, to see the same sky things that used to be right in front of you. Since you don't feel yourself turning, it looks to you as if the sky things are moving from east to west.
