I have to take a guess... but I imagine you're asking 'why do we have only one moon'.
Deep in the past of our solar system the Earth collided with another planet. The two planets amalgamated into one and there was a ring system of debris around our planet that formed into our moon.
This is the most accepted theory of how we got our moon.

Upon deciphering your question ,I assume you mean "why does the moon stand alone" that is why not more than one moon.
Well if we had more than one moon due to tidal force phenomena we would have havoc with the tides of the seas on earth. The other scenario is that more than one moon would make light too bright at night.

The earth gravity is a little weak compared to the other planets. Other planets have more than 1 satellite because their gravity is strong. Earths gravity is a Little weak so it can only pull one satellite.
