The sun doesn't move through the sky. The Earth is held by the Sun's gravitational pull and orbits the Sun while spinning.This is why it looks like the Sun is moving through the sky.

The Sun does not move across the sky due to spinning. Instead, the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is a result of the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet become visible to the Sun, causing it to appear to move from east to west in the sky.
