The north star doesn't appear to move because it is at the tip of the axis of the Earth so we view it as not moving. All stars move because they are full of energy and ready to zoom. The north star is also moving, but since the Earth is spinning so quickly it seems to not be moving. Hope this helps :).

Why do constellations appear to revolve around the Pole star?

This is because the Pole Star (i.e. Polaris, in the Northern hemisphere) is within a degree of the Earth's centre of rotation. That is, the north pole is in line with this particular star. Thus, as the Earth rotates, Polaris does not appear to move in the sky, and the rest of the stars appear to revolve around it.
