Nothing special or unusual happens. Daylight moves around the moon the same way that it moves around the earth and other planets/moons in the solar system. The more of the far side is illuminated by the sun, the less is illuminated of the side that we see.

This configuration is called a"new moon".

Is the near side of the moon the dark side?
"the near side of moon is not dark" this is not entirely correct answer. there are infact many times when the near side of the moon is dark throughout the year. the moon has day and night cycles aswell as other forms of darkness. first off, a full moon seen on earth is when the sun shines light on the moon without the earth being in the way to cast a shadow on the surface. however a Crescent Moon is the moon being partially shadowed by the earth, so the near side is actually dark because the earth is blocking out the sun light to it. also depending on the position of the moon the far side gets the light and the near side wont. this is because the sun is stationary and the moon goes around the earth. there will always be a light side and dark side of the moon just like there is on earth a day and night but you have to remember that its not night all around earth at the same time, same goes for the moon. also the dark side of the moon generally refers to the far side, which is not always dark.
