They do, but very slowly. There is no atmosphere or liquid water on the Moon, meaning no wind, waves, or blowing dust to erode the craters. There is also no volcanic activity or tectonic action to erase them as on Earth.
Many more craters have been obliterated by subsequent impacts than by slowly crumbling away. Some craters are hundreds of millions of years old.

Why do you have the sensation of moving when you go to bed after riding quads or boating or skiing?
This sensation, known as the "phantom effect," occurs when your brain is still perceiving the motion from the activity you were recently engaged in. Your brain adjusts to the movement patterns from riding quads, boating, or skiing, and when you lie down in bed, it takes some time to readjust to the lack of motion, causing the sensation of moving.
