The reason why you need to do regular weekly (at minimum) water changes in your aquarium is due to fish waste. Toxins such as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate will build up and cause harm, or even death to your fish.
By changing out at least 50% of the water and adding new water (that is the same temperature as the old water) keeps the toxins at safe levels; your ammonia and nitrites should test at zero, and your nitrates at less than 10 to 20ppm.
Also, make sure that you are using aquarium water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle to remove harmful chemicals (such as chloramine) from your tap water to make it safe for your fish.
