The constellation Ursa Major isn't in the sky at all; it is in our minds, in our imaginations. There are several stars which, from our particular point of view, appear to form a pattern. The pattern isn't real; we thought it up, and made up stories about it. But the pattern isn't in the stars.

What is the movement of the ursa major at night?

At night, Ursa Major appears to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins from west to east, the constellation rises in the eastern horizon, reaches its highest point in the sky, and then sets in the west. This movement creates the illusion that Ursa Major is circling around the North Star, Polaris, which remains relatively fixed in the northern sky. The stars within Ursa Major maintain their positions relative to each other, while they follow this arc across the night sky.
