Like if the sun was going to exist forever (which I know it isn’t). Would the earth ever stop spinning around the sun and eventually fall into it or is ongoing?

Centrifugal force is an illusion created by the opposing forces of inertia and gravity. Inertia makes the Earth want to fly off into space. Gravity pulls it toward the sun. The orbit of the Earth would be changed if something throws these forces out of balance. Every orbit eventually decays, as nothing is in perfect balance.
