A weir is also called a low-head dam, so weirs are type of dam. Typically non-regulated so excess water simply flows over the top.
A dam is large (or very large), like the Hoover Dam. A weir is very much smaller and you'd be more likely to find one across a stream than a river.

Is there a dam on Jordan River in Jordan?
The word "Jordan" means "the river that rushes down." And between Mount Hermon and the sea of Galilee that's exactly what it does! The Jordan River in Israel has no dam as there is not enough water that flows through it to turn enough turbines to make the enterprise worth doing. There is a dam on the Jordan River in British Columbia, Canada (which is an entirely different river). That dam is called the Jordan River Diversion Dam.
