Answer;

Because the planet pulls the Sun toward it.


The sun moves even though its velocity is set at zero when a planet revolves around it because the planet pulls the Sun towards it.

The reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them, this is the Sun's gravity that pulls on the planets.
