What is the name of the object in your solar system that is now called a dwarf planet?
It is planet Pluto.
______________________
There are five "dwarf planets" in our solar system, as of August 2010. There are certainly dozens or hundreds more in the distant parts of our solar systems, but our telescopes are not yet good enough to see them.
Pluto was considered a planet until the International Astronomical Union (IAU) reclassified it.
Ceres was an asteroid before the IAU reclassified it.
The Kuiper Belt Objects later named Eris, Haumea and Makemake were all considered to be candidates for being named the "Tenth Planet" until the IAU came out with its definition of "planet". In fact, it was the discovery of the dwarf planet Eris, originally called "Xena", that caused the IAU to finally come up with a formal definition of "planet". All three of these objects are now considered to be "dwarf planets".
There are several other large asteroids that probably deserve "dwarf planet" status as well; Vesta, certainly, and Pallas, and perhaps a few others.

dwarf planets are called dwarf planets because they are too small to be classified as an actual planet. Pluto is a dwarf planet as well as Xena and Ceres. Which you probably do not know of because we do not study them as main planets in our solar system.

How is a planet different from a dwarf planet and the moon?
A planet is bigger than a dwarf planet and the Moon. A planet revolves around the Sun directly in its own orbit, but so does a dwarf planet. However, the planet is the dominant object in its orbital region. A dwarf planet is not the dominant object. That's the important difference.
