The answer is actually embedded in the question. The craters of the moon do not "weather" away because the Moon has no weather! To have weather requires an atmosphere and the Moon has none. There is also no free flowing water.

Without tectonic and volcanic activity to erase craters as occurs on Earth, craters can persist for up to hundreds of millions of years.
