the stars in actual do not move it is because of the rotation of earth from west to east we think the stars are moving east to west. I hope this will help you.

The stars appear to move from east to west across the night sky because as Earth rotates, the sky is observed as rotating, according to Astronomy Education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Observers on Earth, in both the northern and southern hemispheres, see objects in the sky move counter-clockwise.
