An arithmetic sequence in one in which consecutive terms differ by a fixed amount,or equivalently, the next term can found by adding a fixed amount to the previous term.
Example of an arithmetic sequence: 2 7 12 17 22 ... Here the the fixed amount is 5.
I suppose any other type of sequence could be called non arithmetic, but I have not heard that expression before.
Another useful kind of sequence is called geometric which is analogous to arithmetic, but multiplication is used instead of addition, i.e. to get the next term, multiply the previous term by some fixed amount.
Example: 2 6 18 54 162 ... Here the muliplier is 3.
