A light bulb gives off radiation in the form of light when the filament inside it heats up to a high temperature, causing it to glow and emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. This radiation is what we perceive as light.

Why are lights off when the switch is open?

Lights are on when a circuit (a path for electricity to flow through) is complete, and light is produced when electricity passes through the bulb because the material is energized by electricity, causing it to give off electromagnetic radiation. Most of the EM radiation is in the form of visible light, but some is in infrared which is why light bulbs (especially incandescent) get hot. When you turn off a switch, the circuit is broken at the switch, so electricity does not flow through the bulb.

Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?

More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.
