Day Light Savings Time (also know as Summer Time in some countries) is when you set your clocks forward an hour so that your evenings will have more daylight and your mornings will have less. When it DST starts (on the first Sunday of April) you set your clocks forward one hour, and when it ends (on the first Sunday of October) you set your clocks back an hour.
We are not the only country that does DST. There are a ton of countries that have used it before, but no longer do. I am also surprised to know that there are countries that have never, ever used it before. Here is a picture from Wikipedia of where DST is used:
Blue is where DST is used.
Orange is where is has been used, but no longer is used.
Red is where it has never, ever been used before

Not all of the United States uses DST. Most of it does though as you can see from the picture above. The places that don't use is in the United States are: Hawaii, Arizona and territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. They just stay to standard time.
