The Lunar module then lifted the astronauts off the Moon and into Lunar orbit. They then docked with the command module and then got rid of the lunar module.

Did Michael Collins just stay in the rocket whilst Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon?

The rocket, called the 'command module', that was carrying the three astronauts to the moon was also carrying a 'lunar module' which was the craft that was to land on the moon. Once the command module was orbiting the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin entered the lunar module, separated it from the command module, and flew down to the moon while Collins piloted the command module around the moon. When it was time to leave the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin blasted off in the lunar module and flew to meet Collins in the command module where they hooked back up. Armstrong and Aldrin then left the lunar module and entered the command module. The lunar module was then jettisoned from the command module, to eventually crash into the moon, and the three made their way back to Earth in the command module.

How did the astronauts go from the command module to the lunar module?

They got out in space and climbed into the command module. The top of the crafts connected together in space. I wonder how it was possible though, because their suits were so big and it was enough room for the life support units on their back. This answer below is not the correct answer to your question. The command module and lunar module have a docking bay, the Lunar module at the top of the module itself and the command module at the peak of the cone. the command module is the only part of the command/service module and lunar module that actually returned to earth. The lunar modules were jetisoned after the linkup from the lunar excursion and eventually crash landed on the moon. the service module, once separated from the command module burned up on reentry into the earth's atmosphere when the Earth's gravity caused it's orbit decayed enough. Most of the command modules for the Apollo Lunar Missions are housed in the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington, DC and Dulles, VA. although there are a few in other places (Houston, Florida).
