I have created list within drop down menus in my spreadsheet, I now want to
try and link a selection I make in that list so that other information will
pop-up in a seperate column. Example, if I select a name from a list, I want
the address to pop-up next to it.

Use =VLOOKUP()

what about a second drop down list which is dependent on what the user
selects from the first one?

associated with a is 1,2,3 b is 4,5,6 c is 7,8,9

so from the first list i pick b and from the second i can only choose 4,5 or
6.

How can this be done?

A slightly different technique would be used:
