The Sun does move from North to South in the sky (or the other way) just a little bit each day. This is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun each day.

So, in the winter the Sun is lower in the sky than in the summer. In the Northern Hemisphere that means the Sun is further South in the sky.
