Windmilling

Hi, I'm in aviation enthusiast, I saw a video on YouTube of that plane turbine fan blades spinning the engine didn't seem to be running completely though, It was like the starter was engaged but the engine start Levers were not flipped. In the comments someone said they were windmilling the engines. What does that mean? And why do they do that? Oh and the video was of an A320.
