The humans all live on one side?
Yes, top side.

If the Sun lights up the face of the Earth, and all people live on one side, where does the Sun go at night?

It is over another part of the earth as it is above the earth circling around it.

The maps and proofs shown so far are not very good. They're bad teasers. It's also funny how 3-D is necessary and implied but gets its hand slapped for no good reason. Of course, to get a full perspective on many things requires 3-D rotation. So to get a good perspective on the flat Earth, it's it does seem to require 3-D rotation too. So the map and the picture require 3-D rotation but not the day?

The illustration there seems to show altitude, where the one one before had mostly azimuth and some ascension. The Sun doesn't simply have altitude. It cuts the plane of the ecliptic at an inclined angle in 3-D space between North and South.

The only side that matters is the side that humans live on, but that doesn't mean earth hasn't got depth, at the very least 8 miles deep and probably a lot deeper.  8 miles is the deepest human beings have ever explored but the oceans are incredibly deep. And scripture talks about the 'great deep' and also says that earth has foundational pillars upon which God founded the whole thing, so there's no doubt earth has a lot of depth. There's also no doubt earth has mountains and valleys and hills.  It just isn't a globe. 
It seems to me the Earth has uniform depth to everything on the surface. About 3963 mile radius to the center.

Besides depth, consider the convergence of it, since depth is a kind of convergence. In "Meteorology" Aristotle mentions three principal kinds of motion: from the center, to the center, around the center, that exist in the elements and their patterns. The weather is full of patterns of convergence and the Earth is like an element that formed through convergence and condensation out of these three basic elemental motions, and that's why it most naturally was created as a sphere.
