The fan spins because it is connected via a shaft to the final stage of the turbine at the other end of the engine.
So, instead of using jet thrust, that is mostly absorbed by the final turbine stage and fed to the fan which then provides about 75% of the thrust. That allows them to be not only quieter but more fuel efficient.
