Do it's and its mean the same thing?

No. The spelling its (no apostrophe) is now the possessive form of the pronoun. This is counter to the normal rule but other possessive pronouns (his, hers) also lack apostrophes. (The car lost its tire. The cat needs its sleep.)

The spelling it's (apostrophe) is used exclusively for the contraction of IT IS.

(It's been a bad day. It's cloudy and it's going to rain.)
