What does getting an oil change actually mean, why do I need one, and how do I know when it's time?

There are always manufacturer recommendations for when to change your oil. Mileage is another thing people go by. For example, if you've already driven 15,000 to 30,000 km, it might be time for an oil change. The exact numbers might be different, but you get the idea.
Try giving someone a massage without oil. Would it work? Sure, but if you've ever given or received a massage with oil, you definitely know the difference. Oil provides lubrication, just like it does in other situations. It's essential for engine parts because it reduces friction and helps protect them from wear. The oil doesn't replenish itself, so sooner or later, it needs to be changed. If you're not sure which oil is right for your car or when to change it, I'd recommend checking out https://drivertires.com/oil-change/ . I always book my oil changes at this auto shop, and I think they keep a record of all my visits. They also always put a little sticker on my car telling me when the next oil change is due. That's how I know when it's time.

Of course, I could go google everything about engine oil right now, but I have a feeling you could do exactly the same thing and find the same information I would. If you really want to know, just read up on it. It's a good way to learn something new about a topic you don't know much about yet.

I guess it's best to start with the basics: what is engine oil actually for, and how does it affect how well the car runs? I've heard you need to change the oil after driving a certain number of kilometers, but maybe there are other situations when you need to change it too.
