It depends on how you do it. If you point the tips towards each other, it is called plowing, though when taught to beginning kids it is sometimes referred to as the 'Pizza stop'.
I'm not sure what it is called if you just slide sideways. I just call it stopping.
When you "slide" sideways it's called hockey stopping. It is actually much more effective at even slightly higher speeds. Snowplowing (same as plowing, just a different name) can really hurt your knees. I have a cousin who is just about to turn 14 but she has to wear knee braces skiing because she snowplows at high speed way too much.

What is parallel skiing?
Parallel skiing is an advanced technique in downhill skiing where the skis are held in two straight lines under the body. This technique is generally learned gradually as a modification of the beginner technique. The beginner's stance is called "the snow plow" or "the wedge", and the skis are held in a V shape with the tips of the skis almost but not quite touching. The wider apart the skis are at the back, the slower a person will go down the hill. In parallel skiing, speed is controlled by how much the skier goes across the hill versus down the hill - the trajectory of the skier relative to the slope controls speed.
