Shakespeare does occasionally quote his sources in his work. For example, the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" in Julius Caesar comes from Plutarch. There is no particular name for these quotations.
References in Shakespeare to other works of literature or to mythology, which are usually the names of characters and not quotations, are called allusions. That term is not specific to Shakespeare: any reference to an outside source within a work is called an allusion. It's kind of like the modern term "Easter Egg" only allusions are more up front.
