After it separated , it did not orbit, but before that hey orbited the moon once.
The Apollo missions generally launched to the Moon and took about 3 days to reach its orbit before landing. The journey back to Earth took another 3 days. So, in total, it took about 6 days for Apollo missions to travel to space and back.
The Apollo 11 project was about 8 years long, from when it was announced in 1961 to the successful moon landing in 1969.
NASA began planning the moon landing as early as 1961, when President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of landing astronauts on the moon and returning them safely to Earth before the end of the decade. The actual Apollo program, which included the moon landing missions, officially began in 1963. The first successful manned moon landing took place in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission.
Apollo 17, the last manned moon landing, was in December of 1972 and they were on the surface for 72 hours (22 hours of which were spent outside the LM on EVA)
It takes astronauts about three days to travel from Earth to the moon in a spacecraft. This journey includes launch, travel time, and lunar orbit insertion before landing on the moon.
Approximately 3 days to reach lunar orbit. Apollo missions orbited the moon for several minutes before landing. # Apollo 11 lifted off at 13:32:00 GMT on 16 Jul 1969 # Lunar orbit was achieved at 17:27:47 GMT on 19 Jul 1969 # Lunar landing occurred at 20:17:39 GMT on 20 Jul 1969

It took roughly six days.

Apollo took on average 2.9 days from leaving Earth orbit to injection into Lunar orbit, and basically the same on return.
The Apollo missions took about three days to reach the moon from earth orbit

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent about 21.5 hours on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong's famous first step onto the moon came about 6 hours after landing. They then explored, conducted experiments, and collected samples before returning to the Apollo module and eventually to Earth.
The Apollo 11 mission spent a total of about 21 hours on the Moon's surface, with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin conducting their moonwalks during this time. They returned to the command module, where Michael Collins was waiting in orbit around the Moon, before heading back to Earth.
First of all due to a explosion in the oxygen tank ,of the Apollo 13 the spacecraft could not land on the moon.
