I don't know one word in english... help to find it
Here is the deal... When one person talks and uses a lot of words such as "well", "it's like" and these words have nothing to deal with the subject of conversation... so How do you call those words?

Those would be called "filler words" as Redbaron stated.. Other fillers include, "um..," "uh..," and possibly words such as "like," or "yeah.."
Using filler words is unprofessional but very common.

I call those kinds of phrases "fillers". Maybe someone has something more official, but I think "filler words" is a decent description since they are used to just fill time so the speaker can think about what words to use for their next thought.

Expletive word ?

The correct term is "fillers"because they fill the silent gaps in conversation. Some people say/write "hehe" all the time.

There're several synonyms for them:
expletive, extraneous, filler, junk or parasitic words.
You can also say, for example:
Его речь изобилует словами-паразитами - He has a verbal tic.
