They do. Everything moves, all the time. Every star has its own "proper motion", and the galaxy as a whole spins once every 220 million years.

We don't SEE the stars move, because they are so incredibly far away, and we don't live long enough to notice. But there are a few stars that would actually appear to move slightly during a human lifetime; Barnard's Star is perhaps the best example.
