they had sinned

Moses warned them not to go
This means that Moses told them not to go to fight against the Canaanites because they would be in danger if they did that.

In other words, God would not be with them to help them. Because of the Israelites' disobedience, God withdrew from them his presence, protection, and power.
but they did not listen to him
They did not obey Moses. They went to attack the Canaanites anyway.
