Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night).

How the earth's spinning causes day and night?

As the earth rotates, different parts of the earth face the sun, that's day. The parts rotated away from the sun don't get any light, so it's night there. So when the earth spins, it faces different directions, away from the sun and facing the sun.
