hey
If something is at rest it wants to stay at rest, this is Newton’s first law. And it can be applied here. Water is just chilling and minding it’s own business when the stone just bursts through like the Kool-aid man. The water is shocked at the extra energy the stone brought and tries to get rid of it as fast as it can. The excess energy introduced is dispersed through the water in a form of waves, usually in a circular manner.
So this is how they work, grossly oversimplified of course (because I am a lazy man). If you are more interested or enthusiastic about the subject, I suggest you research about wave physics, and I would definitely recommend anything that has to do with vibrations (since it all falls under the domain of waves).
