That's related to the fact that there is no such thing as "absolute movement". Read about the "principle of relativity" for more details (for example, on the Wikipedia). Basically, there is no experiment that can determine whether you are moving or not. You can feel sudden changes in movement (i.e., acceleration), but the changes in the Earth's movement aren't sudden at all.

Comments: Yes, but the rotation of the Earth is an acceleration, as defined in physics.

The reason that you don't feel the Earth's rotation is that the "centrifugal effect" produced by the Earth's rotation is small compared with the force you feel from the Earth's gravity (your weight).
