The Moon does reflect the sunlight, that's how we see it. The sky is black because that side of the world is turned away from the sun. Then why do we see the Moon in the dark side of the world (night side)? Because the Moon is so far away from Earth that the light that Sun emits, gets to go right next (or above or below, I'm not sure) to our planet and hit the Moon which leads to the Moon shining at night.
