Folds and faults are both formed from compression on opposite sides due to tectonic movement of the earth's crust. However, in a fold, the crust does not break, it simply is deformed in a curved pattern. In a fault, the rocks in the crust actually shatter, and movement is seen along a fault line, wheby rocks are displaced relative to each other.
