I understand Github Pages and what they are but don't understand what they mean by them saying they are static. Does it mean you cant get any animations on it?

The term 'static' refers to how the website is delivered. So for GitHub pages, (in general) you create HTML files that are served 'statically', which means as they are. They can still include CSS files with animations, or JavaScript files that manipulate the page.
This is different compared to a system that serves dynamic webpages, which can create and serve pieces of the website page as required from the server end.
