Small particles don't obey classical physics. In the quantum landscape, electrons do not have a precisely defined position. The orbital represents a probability distribution- you may see it as a spatial map of where the electron is likely to be on average, but you cannot freeze time and say one electron is here and the other is there. They are both everywhere that the wavefunction allows them to be at the same time. Orbital energies are determined from the spatial probability distribution (wavefunction), not discrete points in space.
