There is no difference. I suspect you evaluated 
<<Statistics`ContinuousDistributions` and
Plot[PDF[NormalDistribution[0,1],x],{x,-2,2}] inside the same cell. First
evaluate <<Statistics`ContinuousDistributions` then in a new cell
Plot[PDF[NormalDistribution[0,1],x],{x,-2,2}] and I am (almost) sure it will
work fine.
