Weight, by definition is a force. That is why we measure weight in Newtons.
Weight is given by
F = mg
where m is mass, and g is accelration due to gravity on the planet.
But, mass will be a constant, and will not change anywhere.
Coming to your question, yes, weight will change. 'g' on moon is 6 times lesser than that on earth, and weight will be almost 6 times
