svn checkout creates a new working copy.
svn update updates an existing working copy.
Chapter 2 of the manual, "Basic Usage", covers these pretty well. In
particular, "Creating a Working Copy"
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.initial.html) followed
immediately by "Basic Work Cycle"
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.cycle.html)
