Think of the world as a top. If you were standing on the very top of that top, you would be spinning, but you wouldn't be moving. This is what happens if you go close to the north or south poles. You're still spinning, but because you aren't moving very much, you're facing the same direction most of the time. The reason for the "6 months of dark and 6 months of light" is the same reason we have seasons. For 6 months the pole will be facing the sun, and for the next it will be facing away. Of course, between those two times will be periods where you aren't facing directly towards or away from the sun. And because the north and south poles are on the opposite ends of the Earth, one will be summer while the other is winter.
