it doesn't spin because it's not supposed to hold the socket and pull the bulb out. your new bul shold have jus tmetal pieces on the ends to where it pushes into the socket. Unless it's a headlight bulb which may or may not have a ring around it. if it has the ring twist the ring and bulb and socket should come outafter the ring is removed then the bulb comes out. if it's a headlight bulb do not touch the bulb with your hands use a Kleenex. if you have already touched it use alcohol to wipe it off first.
