Interchange
To get to the Piccadilly Line platforms you need to go along the District Line ones and down some stairs and along a bit.
Kake thinks Earl's Court station is a horrific stew of crowding people, and won't go there except on weekdays outside rush hour. (My revised opinion — it's OK if you're getting the Piccadilly Line; it's the District Line platforms that get horrid.)
Earl's Court was also one of the first stations to have escalators.
One useful tip to remember is that Earl's Court Station sits between two major roads (Warwick Road and Earl's Court Road) - and that the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre is not on Earl's Court Road - but the other exit.
