Normally, it means that there is infection somewhere. Also, it could mean that your red blood cells aren't doing their job or something in your body is overproducing the white blood cells. Don't worry about it till your dr tells you to.

White blood cells are the things that fight diseases, if you had no white blood cells you would very soon die of any type of illness like a cold because your body would not have any defence. High white blood cells are probably because of an infection. You can see it when you get a deep cut, it may get a build up of white stuff, that's the white blood cells all there. In a bad case your white blood cells can be high because of leukemia, and that's not good because they don't work they just produce bad white blood cells so it's like not having any at all.
