Spiders spin two kinds if thread, a sticky one and a non sticky one. When a spider spins a web they use a combination of the two and memorise where each type of web lies. Then when they move around the web they only use the non sticky threads, and therefore avoid getting suck in their own trap.
They spin their webs from two types of threads, one set is sticky and the other one is not. They know where to step so they don't get stuck.

Why doesn't a spider get stuck on its own web?

Spiders have special oily or waxy coatings on their legs that prevent them from getting stuck on their own webs. The design of their legs and the way they move also helps them avoid getting trapped in their webs. Additionally, spiders can detect the different sticky and non-sticky strands of their webs through sensory hairs on their legs, allowing them to navigate without getting stuck.
