I’m trying to crochet some amigurumi whales,
It doesnt say double crochet just single crochet for the pattern.
But when i crochet other amigurumi dolls i see that it says
single crochet(double crochet in USA, Aus)
Do i have to double crochet in the pattern?

What we in the U.S./Canada call “single crochet” is called “double crochet” in the U.K./Aus/NZ What we in the U.S./Canada call “double crochet” is called “treble crochet” in the U.K./Aus/NZ Here’s a link to a translation chart: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/includes/chart_crochetterms.php (It shows only “U.S.” which includes Canada and only “U.K.” which includes Australia and New Zealand.)
I don’t know where you are in the world nor what amigurumi pattern for a whale you’re following. The only pattern I could find on the Internet for a whale uses U.S. “single crochet,” which is done by inserting the hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull a loop through the stitch (two loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops on hook–1 sc made.
And I have to say–most of the amigurumi patterns I’ve encountered use the sc stitch described above.
No you cannot double crochet in a amugurumi because the stiches would be big and when you stuff you whale it would all come out and look horrible ans messy so just use Usa standard singing crochet
( insert hook into stich , yarn over ,pull thru all)
Good luck
