The lunar rover came to the moon onboard the LM (lunar module) it was stowed in a small compartment and deployed thusly...

quoth the wiki

"Deployment of the LRV from the LM quad 1 by the astronauts was achieved with a system of pulleys and braked reels using ropes and cloth tapes. The rover was folded and stored in quad 1 with the underside of the chassis facing out. One astronaut would climb the egress ladder on the LM and release the rover, which would then be slowly tilted out by the second astronaut on the ground through the use of reels and tapes. As the rover was let down from the bay most of the deployment was automatic. The rear wheels folded out and locked in place and when they touched the ground the front of the rover could be unfolded, the wheels deployed, and the entire frame let down to the surface by pulleys. The rover components locked into place upon opening. Cabling, pins and tripods would then be removed and the seats and footrests raised. After switching on all the electronics the vehicle was ready to back away from the LM."

Why didn't the moon buggy float away?

The moon buggy did not float away because the moon has much weaker gravity compared to Earth. The buggy's weight was similar to its weight on Earth, but the moon's weaker gravity made it easier to stay grounded. Additionally, the buggy was specially designed with traction and brakes to prevent it from floating away.

How does buggy stay on moon?

Buggy stays on the moon due to the moon's gravity, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This reduced gravity allows the buggy to easily maneuver and stay grounded on the moon's surface. Additionally, the design and engineering of the buggy's wheels provide traction and stability on the uneven lunar terrain.
