A moat is a channel that is filled with water or even lava. It prevents anything not adapted to breathing under-water and unable to fly from crossing it. This is a simple technique to prevent goblin siegers from entering your fortress. this technique will not work during winter as the water will freeze over and will allow anything to pass over it. A more sure way of stopping goblins (assuming you do not have any source of lava/magma) even during the winter is: instead of filling a channel up with water, put upright spears/spikes or possibly even traps (confirm this please) in the channel, this would require either a ramp or stairs so your dwarves can build the mechanisms.
