Angular momenta are the generators of rotations. The orbital angular momentum, denoted by $\textbf{L}=(L_1,L_2,L_3)$, generates rotations in three-dimensional space in the planes $xy$, $yz$, $zx$ respectively.
The Spin $\textbf{S}=(S_1,S_2,S_3)$ also represents angular momentum which is intrinsic in nature. Being an angular momentum, it is also a generator rotation. But do they also generate ordinary rotation in 3-dimensional space?
I) The main point is that when we apply Noether's theorem for a field theory, the total angular momentum Noether current
$$J^{\mu,\nu\lambda}~=~L^{\mu,\nu\lambda}+S^{\mu,\nu\lambda}$$
splits in an orbital angular momentum current $$L^{\mu,\nu\lambda}=x^{\nu}T^{\mu,\lambda}-(\nu\leftrightarrow \lambda)$$
and an internal spin angular momentum Noether current $$S^{\mu,\nu\lambda}~=~\frac{\partial {\cal L}}{\partial \Phi_{,\mu}} \Sigma^{\nu\lambda}\Phi,$$
where $\Sigma^{\nu\lambda}$ furnishes a Lorentz representation of the field $\Phi$ in the field target space. For further details, see e.g. Ref. 1.
II) In particular for a scalar field theory, there is no spin, $\Sigma^{\nu\lambda}=0$ is generators for the trivial representation, and the angular momentum is generated purely from infinitesimal variations in spacetime, cf. e.g. this Phys.SE post.
