You don't "make" logs; they are a record of activity on your server and should be created by your server program.
Typically, but not always, your web host will make those files available to you (you would usually download them via FTP or view them with a program provided for you). You would then use a log analysis program to look at them and get information on server activity.
Logs can tell you things like how many pages were requested, what errors may have occured, which robots visited your site, and other info.
