Probably a lack of ventilation.
Have you got a gas heater ??
Pictures would help.

Hola you need old clothes (splashes) and some bleach to wash over the damp spots (WC cleaner will work, try clear or lemon pine may stain the wall green)
open windows then spray / brush the bleach give it a while then you may need to repeat
when dry (if the wall are still marked) just buy some damp (bathroom/ kitchen) paint a roller or brush try and keep windows open
please do not use a gas (bottle) type heater they produce condensation also almost banned from use with other products of combustion that are a risk
try also (if you can) treat the outside wall with a type of Ronson mason seal (clear) may be down to our Gota Fria (storm) last Wednesday
ask at Leroy Merlin for the materials

...or buy some mould remover spray from a DIY store and follow the instructions, but as Dave says, ventilation is the key.
