The crankshaft has counterweights which are placed in such a way as to provide momentum when the the power stroke of any piston is absent. This drives the crankshaft to spin until the next power stroke of a piston drives it further.

How does the egine make the car move?

The engine has a crankshaft that is connected to all the pistons in the engine. When the engine is running the pistons are moving up and down and are turning this crankshaft.

If crankshaft in twin cylinder four stroke engine is turning at 1000 rpm how fast is camshaft turning?

In a twin-cylinder four-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes one full rotation for every two strokes of the pistons. Since the crankshaft is turning at 1000 RPM, the camshaft, which is typically driven by the crankshaft at half that speed, will turn at 500 RPM. Thus, the camshaft in this engine will be rotating at 500 RPM.
