Why can’t we walk straight after spinning in circles?

After spinning in circles like 10 times, I struggle to walk in a straight line without falling down. What during the spinning causes the brain to get confused and how does it fix itself in a few minutes?

Balance is controlled by fluid in the ears. There is fluid inside of the balance center of the ear, and there are cells which detect the movement of the fluid to interpret balance.
Spinning also spins the fluid causing a bunch of different signals which are interpreted as dizziness.
