6d6 is a way of calculating numbers (damage, etc) in AD&D. The first number is the number of times you roll a dice, and the second number (after the d) is the no. of sides of the dice used.
So the above would mean that you would roll a 6-sided dice 6 times to arrive at a damage figure. The damage range would be 6-36.
If the notation was 1d8+2, this would mean that you roll an 8-sided dice ONCE, then add 2 to the total. The range would then be 3-10.
