Our window in the winter has a lot of moisture we just noticed that it has what looks like mold but its moist and looks like dirt is it mold or mildew?

Mold: It is mold as result of excess moisture condensing on your windows. You may need a dehumidifierto resduce the moisture in your house. You will need to use a mold inhibitor like bleach to get rid of the mold. If the job is too big get professional help.
