The fact that China just retrieved rocks from the dark side of the moon confuses me. Does the moon rotate in the same manner as Earth does so we never see the “dark” side of the moon?

The moon DOES rotate. It rotates once on its axis in the same time it takes to orbit the earth one time. Thus, the same face of the moon is always towards the earth. If you want to know how it ended up that way, Google is your friend!
