Check for any debris around the bar and make sure it`s not worn down. If it is, you`ll notice that the rails are shallow. If that`s the case, it will need to be replaced. You will also want to make sure your chain oiler is in good order and that the chain itself does not have any broken teeth.
Chainsaw chains stretch during normal operation and begin to sag on a saw`s guide bar. If a chainsaw chain is allowed to become too loose, it can easily come off the bar during operation and create an unsafe situation for the user. Chainsaw chain tension should be checked and tightened often.

On my petrol chainsaw the cog that turns the chain is not moveing
ANSWER : The sprocket should be fixed to the outer clutch drum. With the engine off, and the bar and chain off, hold the sprocket with channel lock pliers and turn the outer clutch drum by hand. If the sprocket does not turn, but the drum does, then the clutch must be replaced. (Left hand threads) To keep the engine from turning while trying to remove the clutch internals, stuff starter cord into the upper cylinder head area so that the piston cannot rise above the top of the exhaust port. If you have a saw service shop near you, you might farm out the clutch replacement. It usually requires a special tool to turn the clutch internals. Good luck!
