If it works exactly like a ball that is placed on top of a cloth, doesn’t the celestial bodies that is rotating around the ball will eventually get sucked into the center?

Some will, some won’t.

If a body is just far enough away from the “dip in the cloth”, and is moving away from it at just the right speed, at just the right angle, it won’t. This is called “orbit”.

Otherwise, yes. This is called “gravity”.
