Yes it does.
If it didn't rotate we would see the both sides.
The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. To observers on earth the moon does not seem to be rotating because it rotates at the perfect speed to show us the same side all the time.
