Sound is made when the air vibrates. When someone speaks for example, the air vibrates, and then your ears pick this vibration up as sound. Because their is no air between the Earth and the Moon, sound can not travel, because no air is there to vibrate. Also, sound levels decrease as they go farther away from whoever sent them. Since the Moon is about 238,855 miles from Earth, sound gets so decreased you can't hear it.

The moon spins around (so: no it is not still) but it is in the same position in the sky. Hope my answer helps you! :D
