Dinosaurs that walk on two legs are called "bipeds". The term applies to all animals that walk on two legs.
Any animal that walks on four legs is called quadrupedal. Quadrupedal dinosaurs include sauropods, stegosaurs, ceratopsians, and ankylosaurs. Hadrosaurs could were usually quadrupedal, but could walk, stand, or run on two legs.
Theropods were the main bipedal dinosaurs. However, some small ornithopods, like Orodromeus, were bipeds, and hadrosaurs could walk on two or four legs.
Any animal that walks on four legs is called a quadruped. Quadrupedal dinosaurs include ceratopsians (like Triceratops), sauropods (like Brontosaurus [correctly called Apatosaurus], stegosaurs (dinosaurs with triangular "plates" on their back), ankylosaurs (armored herbivorous dinosaurs), and hadrosaurs (although they could also walk on two legs. An animal that walks on two legs is called a biped).
Animals walk on four legs because it is more stable than walking on two legs. Dinosaurs were very large, and it would have taken a lot of energy for them to walk on two legs. The ones who did walk on two legs were usually predators (like Tyrannosaurus rex or velociraptor) because they could get more energy from eating other animals than from eating plants.
