What is the difference between Plywood and OSB?

They are both engineered wood products, constructed using similar methods. The main difference is price. OSB (oriented-strand board) is generally cheaper and has a more uniform composition and appearance. Even though they are both made of layers of smaller pieces of wood glued together, the small pieces that make up a sheet of plywood are still quite visible in the finished product, unllike OSB. OSB is also more commonly used nowadays in residential construction than plywood for cost reasons.

What do you need to build walls for houses?

That depends if it's an interior or exterior wall. Interior walls are basically studs (2x4 pine lumber) covered with drywall ("sheetrock" is a common brand). Exterior walls can use 2x4s or bigger lumber (2x6s), with insulation in between them. The inside part of the wall is covered with drywall, the exterior is usually covered with plywood or OSB sheathing. In some cases, there is simply foam board on the outside. Then that (the plywood/OSB or foam) is covered with some sort of siding material (vinyl, wood, brick, etc).

Trick question! A single sheet of OSB weighs about 1.5 lbs per sf or 47 lbs, assuing you are asking about 7/16" thick, not 716. One sheet of plywood weighs a bit more. There is no such thing as OSB plywood! That is like asking how much does a motorcycle car cost?
