Basically I'm a pretty competent designer but I'm just wondering how to make website templates in the style of the ones on places like templatemonster etc?
Do I have to know CSS or another language, or is it possible to do it in HTML or without any scripting language whatsoever?

No... It is possible to create web templates with just HTML, however I wouldn't recommend it.

CSS is now the web standard for laying out web pages (as defined by the W3C - http://www.w3.org). CSS designs are much more flexible and have a much faster load time.

If you are serious about creating templates then you definitely should learn CSS and if you already know HTML then it wont take you long to master.

W3Schools isn't a bad place to start - http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

good luck!

CSS isn't a scripting language. It's just a way of describing the styles in your document.
And yes, you'll need to learn CSS in order to design web templates. For a great example of the power of CSS, look at the Zen Garden website - they have just one page of HTML but you can switch between hundreds of different CSS files for a completely different look.
