It depends on which module you mean. The Command Module pilot stays in orbit around the moon during the landing mission. The pilot performs scientific experiments and observations while there. They also play the critical role of docking with the Lunar Module when it leaves the moon.

The Lunar Module pilot runs the computers and instruments on the Lunar Module and feeds critical information to the Commander during landing .
