He did not go to jail and was never charged with any crime. He produced a new and in some ways better model of what we call the solar system. It had the Sun at the centre, and he was nervous that it might get him into trouble with the Church (his employers), so publication of his book on the subject was delayed until the year he died, 1543.

He had a theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Hundreds of years later, scientists proved he was right. Back then, everybody believed Aristotle and they thought the earth was at the center of the universe and everything revolved around it.

Copernicus was the first scientist to postulate that our solar system was heliocentric. Until that time, everyone "knew" that the earth was the center of the solar system - everything else, including the sun, revolved around the earth. Copernicus got considerable grief for his views, and it was several more centuries before it was universally accepted that he was correct - the solar system is heliocentric.
