Johnnie Walker is a blended whisky, which means it is made from a blend of malt and grain whiskies. Grain whiskies are basically flavorless; malt whickies have the flavor you associate with Scotch. Thus by blending in grain whisky they can 'stretch' the malts.
A single malt is the malt whisky from just ONE distillery.
There are some blended malt whiskies.
Johnnie Walker Black is a more expensive version of Johnnie Walker Red; supposedly there are more malts in the blend and they are older -- and thus better and more expensive

Single malt whisky is a 100% malted barley whisky from one distillery. Johnnie Walker Black Label is a blend of as many as 40 whiskies, each aged at least 12 years.

The difference is in the amount of time they are aged. The longer a whiskey has been aged, the more expensive it will be. Many whiskey enthusiasts argue that the flavor of the whiskey becomes more bold over time. The alcohol content is also increased with extended fermentation.
