Lady Macbeth
Macbeth didn't want to fight Macduff, because he didn't want to add any more bloodied casualties to the Fife Castle massacre body count. In Act 4 Scene 2, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had Macduff's entire family and household massacred at the Macduffs' home of Fife Castle. In Act 5 Scene 8, Macduff finally caught up with Macbeth and challenged him to fight. Macbeth didn't want to fight for two reasons. The reason that he didn't reveal was the witches' warning to beware of Macduff. The reason that he did reveal was the weight on his soul from having ordered the Fife Castle massacre.

Macbeth sends murderers to kill Macduff's family in an attempt to eliminate any potential threats to his own power. This ruthless act solidifies Macbeth's descent into tyranny and cruelty, as he seeks to maintain his position on the throne at any cost. The murder of Macduff's family ultimately leads to Macduff seeking revenge against Macbeth, contributing to his downfall.
No, Macduff wasn't killed. But his entire family and household were stabbed to death, in Act 4 Scene 2. The Fife Castle massacre of the Macduffs and everyone connected to them was arranged by Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. So Macduff bided his time for revenge. The opportunity came in Act 5 Scene 8, when he and Macbeth found themselves on the same part of the battlefield near Dunsinane Castle. Macduff killed and beheaded his opponent.
In Act 5, Scene 5 of Macbeth, Macbeth’s soldiers desert him and join forces with Malcolm's army. Due to the overwhelming opposition he faces, Macbeth realizes that his reign is doomed, leading to his desperation and ultimate downfall.
