All skin cancers have the potential to metastasize but melanoma is the most likely to spread or metastasize to other parts of the body. Squamous cell is the next most likely to spread. Basal cell rarely metastasizes.

"Metastatic" generally means "spreading", so a metastatic skin cancer is generally a skin cancer that originally started in some other part of the body, or that started as skin cancer and was left untreated. The treatment would depend on the extent of the spread, and the nature of the original cancer.

Skin cancer itself is generally survivable if treatment begins early, BEFORE it metastasizes.

In general, any cancer that spreads to other organs, or "metastasizes", is definitely "Not Good".
