Technically, it does. But by such a small amount, we can’t even measure it with the most precise tools we have. This is because the earth is very heavy compared to us, so the jump has a much bigger effect on us than it does the earth.

It does move but the vast differences in the mass of the objects involved means that the mass of the Earth moves less than the width of an atom.

Every force has an equal and opposite force, so when you jump, the same force does, in fact, apply to earth. But the Earth is so large that the force applied from the jump is nowhere near enough to move the earth any measurable amount.

The ground doesn’t move beneath you when you jump because you’re going the same speed as the planet. Everything on Earth is going at the same speed as its rotation and same speed it’s traveling through space.
It’s the same reason you can jump on a bus or an airplane and not move either. You’re accelerating at the same speed. However, if you jump and the bus speeds up or slows down, you do fall somewhere different. But the Earth doesn’t speed up or slow down, so you never feel it and you always fall in the same place.
