Because she want to keih lot with John proct.
Abigail was in the woods with Tituba because they were engaging in forbidden activities, including attempting to conjure spirits and perform rituals. This secret gathering was motivated by Abigail's desire to escape the constraints of Puritan society and to pursue her feelings for John Proctor. The incident ultimately sets off a chain of events that leads to the Salem witch trials, as the girls' actions spark fear and hysteria in the town.
Abigail accuses Tituba of witchcraft to deflect blame from herself after being caught dancing in the woods, as she fears punishment for her actions. By targeting Tituba, a marginalized slave, she hopes to shift the focus away from her own misdeeds and gain the community's sympathy. As the witch hunt escalates, Abigail and the other girls continue to blame others to protect themselves and gain power, creating a climate of paranoia that allows them to manipulate the fears of the townspeople. This tactic ultimately spirals out of control, leading to widespread hysteria and tragic consequences.
To draw attention away from themselves (and what they were doing in the woods) and make scapegoats out of others.
Tituba confesses because Abigail basically puts her in a corner and blames her for the entire evil practice performed in the woods. She confesses more in depth to her association with the Devil once she is threatened by her master, Reverend Parris, with being whipped to death, and by Putnam, who said that she should be hanged.

One thing Abigail did not tell Parris about that night in the woods was her involvement in the ritualistic activities and the dancing that took place. While she claimed they were simply gathering to have fun, she concealed the fact that they were trying to conjure spirits and that Tituba was casting spells, which heightened the tension and fear surrounding the events in Salem. This omission played a crucial role in escalating the witch trials and the ensuing hysteria.
