Stars don't have a set pattern. They do travel across the space, although from our point of view it takes very long for them to change position on the heaven sphere.
Constellations won't look the same forever.
Also note that stars in the same constellations don't neccesarily have to be close together. Often their relative distances are greatly larger than their distances to us.
There was no set pattern for stars on the US flag and the individual who proposed the flag, Francis Hopkinson, did not set them in a circle but in the pattern of the crosses on the flag of Great Britain. Thus they were scattered.
When darkness sets in, a star appearing almost overhead will typically set in the west. This is due to the apparent motion of stars across the night sky, which is a result of Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins from west to east, stars rise in the east and set in the west, creating a predictable pattern throughout the night.
The word for stars that do make a pattern is "asterism" (not constellation; that's actually defined differently). There isn't really a word for a group of stars that don't make a pattern, because there's no such thing: any arbitrarily chosen group of stars will make a pattern, even if that pattern is essentially random.
A pattern of stars in the sky is called a constellation. Constellations are groups of stars that appear to form a recognizable shape or figure when viewed from Earth. Astronomers use constellations to help navigate and identify objects in the night sky.

Those are called "circumpular" stars. Exactly which stars are circumpolar depends on your location. For example, if you live 30° south of the equator, all stars that are up to 30° from the south pole of the sky will never set.
