Because they thought if they stayed, they would be murdered next.
Macbeth was appointed King because Malcolm and Donalbain fled, and after them, Macbeth was next in line, seeing as he was good friends with the king, and Thane of both Glamis and Cawdor.

They were afraid of being murdered; they figured that whoever murdered Duncan would want them dead also.
