According to one of the existing theories, the young Moon was formed from the debris of the Earth after a collision with another proto-planet or a very large asteroid.

It is not excluded that there was some event that provoked a mass exit of heavy rock to the outside, where it remained. But so far this is only a hypothesis that requires further observations.
