Any place on the moon that's in direct sun (day side) has a temperature around +225 F.

Any place on the moon that's not in direct sun (night side) has a temperature around -240 F.

Of course, the light and dark areas of the moon keep changing throughout the month.

The sun shines on all sides of the moon- at different times. If you mean does the sun shine on the farside of the moon- away from the earth- yes. When we have a new moon (dark) the sun is shining on the other side. However, when the sun is shining, it is not the darkside- it is light at that moment.

What is the temperature on the Dark side of the moon?

The temperature on the moon is the same on all sides. Around 100C in the middle of the day and -173C middle of the night. Although the moon is about the same distance from the Sun as Earth the reason for the moons extremes is it does not have the atmosphere Earth does. I have the feeling that you are labouring under the delusion that the dark side of the moon sees no sun. Not true, the moon only shows one side to Earth because it does not rotate on its axis, but everyone else in our solar system gets a look at all sides, including the sun.
