The rotation period of the moon is exactly the same as its orbital period around the earth. This causes the same side of the moon (with the exception of a bit of wobble) to always face the earth. But this side goes through day-night cycles. This is easily seen; it's what causes the phases of the moon.
Wrong wrong wrong! Look here and you'll see the explanation for the phases of the moon.
