Damage resistance in 5e states something like (lycanthrope eg.,)

Damage Immunity: bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered.

 

I assume this means you have to have a magical silver weapon to cause damage ?

No. It means, it's resistant to non-magical, non-silvered weapons. i.e. being magical or silver is enough to bypass resistance.

No, it means that you can't harm it with an ordinary weapon, but if you are wielding a weapon that's either silvered or magical, you can harm it with the weapon.
