The nuclear reaction within the Sun is fusion. Four hydrogen nuclei (four protons) are forced together under the intense pressure present to form a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons). The neutrons are formed from protons by the weak interaction. The resulting loss of mass is accompanied with a release in binding energy, which drives the cycle and emits tremendous radiation energy.

How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?

The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?

Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
