He didn't know he did it.
It happened when Voldemort attempted to kill Harry when he was a baby. It was quite on accident, but was a result of the spell backfiring. It was the reason that Harry could speak Parseltongue and why he and Voldemort sometimes shared a mental connection.
So he could become immortal, i.e. not die. When a horcrux is created someone puts part of his/her soul into an object so when the person them self is killed, a part of their soul lives on in the horcrux, so they can not fully be destroyed.
However, he would be able to die if someone found and destroyed all the horcruxes, he would then be mortal, but Voldemort ignorantly assumed that nobody would be able to find all his horcruxes. But Harry, along with Ron and Hermione found and destroyed all the horcruxes, thus making Voldemort mortal, so then Harry was able to kill him.
Lord Voldemort or Tom Marvolo Riddle decided to pick items of great power or of importance to him.
A Horcrux is an item that the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort made with part of his soul inside to help him obtain immortality in the Harry Potter novels and movies.

They had to destroy seven horcruxes. Voldemort wanted to divide his soul into seven pieces; since he himself had one of the seven pieces, that would have required only six horcruxes. However, he accidentally created one more horcrux.
