You need to learn the exposure triangle. You can Google that term and learn a lot of the lingo.
If you're interested in learning about the camera, I would start with aperture priority and play around - you'll see what different apertures do for your pictures. To stop action, you want a higher shutter speed, so you could play around a little bit in shutter priority.
If you're not interested in learning and just want to shoot, turn the dial to the sports mode, which I think looks like a track runner.
