Certain NPC's are flagged as essential until a certain stage of the game where they can be killed. Most (if not all) Jarls are flagged as essential and the Jarl of Whiterun is critical for the game's main questline progression. So attempting to kill an essential character will only make them unconscious for a while.

Now, the morality issue of attempted murder of a Jarl is considered regicide and therefore the highest crime to king and country. If there is a Jarl that can be killed and you have been seen doing so will increase your crime in that region greatly and the news will spread all over Skyrim. However, you may get to actually do this during a quest. Killing a Jarl just because you can is a very bad idea, but I've never attempted such a thing. Try it and see what happens, but save your game first.
