The sun doesn't move; earth does. The Earth slowly rotates until the side the sun was facing is now away from the sun.

It happens because the Earth rotates.

As the Earth continues to rotate, parts that were facing the Sun are soon facing away from it and the parts facing away from it are now facing it, so everywhere gets day and night.

When does day and night happen?
Because the part of the Earth you are on is not facing the Sun at that time. The earth is continuously rotating, so at any time, part of the Earth is facing the Sun and part is facing away from it. The part facing it is getting lots of light, so it is day time and the part facing away gets less light, so you have darkness and it is night time.

How does the spinning of the Earth on its axis cause day and night?
The Earth is a sphere, and too far from the Sun for any significant light to reach the side facing away from the Sun. So at any given time, about one-half of the Earth is facing the Sun and in daylight. The other half is facing away and experiences night. As the Earth turns, locations move into the sunlight and then out of it again. When not being heated by the Sun, the Earth radiates away its heat into space, which is why the night is substantially cooler than the day.
Why the Sun sometimes is in the sky and not at other time?
The sun is always in the sky. But, as the earth rotates, some of the time (at night) your part of the earth is facing away from the so you think it is not in the sky.
