The ground is part of the planet. When you
apply a force against it, that force is going
to be teeny tiny with respect to the overall
mass of the Earth and therefore will have
no perceptible effect. When a force with
enough power is applied, the ground gets
"deformed" at and around the area where
the force is being applied (for example a
bomb crater).
It does move.
But the ground is not a solid object, it is made of small particles so the ground itself will flex and deform as a force is exerted.
