Why do black holes rotate?

It's quite probable that all black holes spin. The probability of a huge amount of matter collecting with no net angular momentum is vanishingly small.

The first solution of general relativity's equations for a black hole was found by simplifying the problem to assume that there was no rotation. Thus, it is possible to find, in the literature, papers referring to non-rotating black holes. Later, a solution was found that allowed for rotation, and this is the most realistic physical situation.

It has to be a certain type of star.Like our sun,when it dies it will not become a black hole because the sun is too small.For the star to make a black hole,it needs to be 10x more massive then our sun.The bigger the star is,the bigger the black hole will be when the star explodes.If the star is too small to create a black hole,you will just see HUGE fireworks. :)

Most black holes spin because most stars rotate. When a star collapses into a black hole, the black hole inherits that rotation.

That's because the stars they are made from rotate - and rotation can't just disappear. There is a conservation law to that respect; it is called Conservation of Rotational Momentum.

Does a black hole rotate around the sun?

No. There are not black holes anywhere near our solar system. Even then, scientific models suggest that stellar-mass black holes, the smallest common type, must be at least 3 times more massive than the sun, so the sun would more likely orbit the black hole if one were nearby.
