The craters on the Moon are the marks made by high-speed impacts by small to moderately-sized meteoroids, objects that still strike the Moon with some regularity.
The Moon has no atmosphere to impede these objects, as Earth does, and no erosion by wind and water to erase them, only the very slow crumbling of the surface into dust. The Moon also has no tectonic activity or volcanoes that could alter its surface. So most craters remain mostly unchanged for many millions of years. A very large number of craters do have other craters inside or overlapping them, and new small craters are formed every year by new impacts.
