Watashi wa=I am (in this case my name is)
Moshimasu is a term of respect you attach after your sentence. These words are called けいご(keigo).
Ex)
I am Sam
Casual version: 私はサムです。watashi wa Sam desu
Formal version with keigo: 私はサムと申します。
Watashi wa Sam to moshimasu
- Japanese
However, keigo is quite complex for beginner speakers so I suggest you learn the informal casual speaking style first before you learn keigo
