The force that holds a moving object in a circular path is a "centripetal force".

In the case of an orbiting planet, moon, artificial satellite etc., the mutual force of

gravitation between the orbiting body and the central body is the centripetal force.

What is meant by centripetal force and why does such a force not work in circular orbit?

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. It always acts towards the center of the circle. In a circular orbit, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the orbiting object and the object it is moving around. If there were no central force, the object would move in a straight line tangent to the circle.
