The [ket] $ | \psi(t) \rangle$ denotes the state of the system at the time $t$, and $|\psi(0) \rangle$ is nothing but the state of the system at the time $t=0$. The [probability amplitude][prob amp] of the state $|\psi(t)\rangle$ being in some state $| x \rangle$ is $\langle x | \psi(t) \rangle$, which when $x$ represents the spatial position of a particle is nothing but the wave function $\psi(x,t)$ (see e.g. [this Phys.SE question][1]). Regarding the relation between probability and probability amplitude, see for example [this][2] and [this][3] Phys.SE questions.
