in a solid, the molecules are more tightly packed than in a liquid, and they have very little room to move around. in a liquid, the molecules are a bit more free to move around, but not as much as in a gas. you freeze a liquid to make it a solid, and you heat up a solid to make it a liquid, or even a gas. i hope this was helpful enough.
