Does the moon have one side in constant daylight and one side in constant darkness?
No, the moon always has the same side facing toward the earth, and the changing angle of sunlight on the moons face creates the waxing and waning effect we see on the moons surface.
The far side of the moon, the side we cannot see from the earth is sometimes eroneously refered to as th dark side of the moon. It is only "dark" in the sense that we cannot see it from here.

What is the length of daylight on the moon in hours?
As mentioned, about two weeks in most places. However, there are believed to be some areas which are in permanent darkness as they're shadowed from the sun by mountains near the poles... NASA is interested in them because ice may have accumulated there making water available for lunar bases.
What is the name of the side of the moon that we don't see the dark side?
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, keeping one face turned toward the Earth. The terms "near side" and "far side" are correct to describe the two sides of the Moon. Until the Soviet Luna 3 satellite orbited the Moon in 1959, we had no clue what the far side of the Moon looked like.
Is the other side of the moon dark?
Yes, the other side of the moon is not always dark. It experiences day and night just like the side of the moon facing Earth. The term "dark side of the moon" refers to the side that is not visible from Earth, not to the side that is always in darkness.
Is one half of the moon in constant darkness?
Yes, one part of the moon is always facing towards the sun, and the other side is always facing away from the sun. One side is in constant light and one side is in constant darkness.
What are two ways life would different if earth did not have the motions of revolution?
One - one side of Earth would be in constant daylight, while the other side would be in constant darkness. Two - life as we know it, would not exist.

Is the far side of Pluto's moon Charon always dark?
No. Charon is tidally locked to Pluto such that one side always face toward Pluto and once side always faces away. Since Charon orbits Pluto (or rather the common center of mass between the two) the far side of Charon experiences daylight while it is night on the side facing Pluto.

What is the shrinking moon phase?
When viewed from the Earth, if the light side of the Moon appears on the left-hand side, it is classed as "Waning" (getting smaller from a full-moon), whilst if the light is on the right-hand side, it is classed as "Waxing" (getting bigger towards a full-moon). If the Sun leads the Moon in their respective orbits across the sky, the light will be on the right-hand side. If the Moon leads the Sun, the light will be on the left-hand side. Whilst the Moon is associated with night and darkness, the Moon can often be seen during daylight (though difficult to see clearly in a bright daytime sky).
