The moon does not rotate on its own axis like Earth does. If you were on the moon looking at the earth you would see it slowly turning. As you have observed,we only see the same side of the moon from earth because the moon does not turn on its own axis.

What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
