There are a few ways of looking at that. On nights when you can see Orion, as the Earth rotates it appears to be moving across the sky. It is not Orion that is moving that causes that effect.

All of the stars in Orion are in separate places, so we just see the pattern in the sky. The individual stars are moving, but it is too small a movement for us to notice, even in a lifetime.

As we orbit the Sun, there are times of the year when we see Orion, which is mainly during winter in the northern hemisphere, and times that we don't. When you see it on a given night changes slightly, so at the same time on each night, it is in a slightly different position.
