The way I picture it: the windmill was the closest thing the Mane Six could potentially escape on through Capper's window. While it's turning, one of the Storm Creatures grabs it and stops its rotation, so the ponies are basically stuck there. So Twilight and Rainbow push against the Storm Creature's grip to get the windmill moving again, so they can get away.

It's not the most well-thought-out escape plan, but with how fast everything was happening and with Tempest right behind them, I imagine they didn't have a lot of time to think things through. :P
