The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity, the gravity pulls the moons towards Jupiter, however to every force there is an oppisite force, in
this case the other force is pushing the moon away from Jupiter so it stays in a correct orbit and doesn't go off track and hit the planet.

They are kept in orbit by the force gravity. Also, as you know, for every force, there is an equal and opposite force, so they are alo pushed out so they don't hit the planet. So the moons are held in by half pushing and half pulling

Its the gravity of jupiter keeps them there. Actually because jupiter spins so fast and the moons are so large that its creating a drag  to slow down jupiter's spin and because the force is changing the orbits of the moons and are slowly moving away
