If the earth goes around the sun why is the ecliptic not lined up with celestial equator?

It's because the Earth's axis is tilted. Therefore the plane of the equator is tilted (at about 23.5 degrees) away from the plane of the Earth's orbit.

Therefore the celestial equator is tilted away from the ecliptic.
