First if all, it would be EXPENSIVE; aluminum foil isn't cheap. And the Moon is the size of Africa, so it would take a lot.

Second, people on Earth wouldn't be able to look at the full moon any more. The Moon has an albedo, a reflectivity, of 0.04; the Moon is the color of charcoal. And yet the Moon is STILL sometimes too bright to look at. If the Moon (or at least, the near side) were covered with aluminum foil, it would be probably 10 times brighter. We wouldn't be able to look at it without sunglasses or goggles.

In fact, all plant and animal life that depends on a circadian (light & dark) cycle would be affected. Badly? We don't know.
