I have a WD Blue 1TB that is soon will be full. So I decided to get a new WD Black 1TB. I was wondering if I transfer all of my data from WD Blue to WD Black, will it make a difference to my PC? Like speed or anything? Then just make my WD Blue as more storage?

The WD Black is faster and has higher reliability than the WD Blue - hence the longer warranty period. Whether you will observe a notable improvement in performance outside benchmarks is highly questionable.

Well said. Any improvement will be minimal. You would see a much greater improvement by getting a SSD (and install Windows and your main apps to it) and use the HDD as data only or for apps that don't require maximum performance (like office apps).
