Use the Time Shift tool to drag each track to where you want it.

You don't need to. All tracks are automatically mixed into a single stereo file when you Export (or a mono file if all the tracks are centre panned mono track).
Audacity does not "Save" audio files - the "Save" function creates "Audacity Projects". To make an audio file that can be played in other programs you use "Export".
