Your question is too broad to give any specific advice, but in general think "Timeline".
If you were going to use paper and pen/pencil/crayons, then you would draw each individual frame on a separate sheet of paper, then film each sheet in sequence and run the film so that it shows the movement.
To do that on a computer you need specialised software. The one that comes to mind immediately is Adobe's Shockwave, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Shockwave
