There are alot of differences between these two marine creatures.
Just generally:
Turtles are a reptile that have the trunk of their bodies encased in a hard shell.
Jellyfish are umbrella looking and have soft gelatine-like (jelly) bodies. They have tentacles trailing from the bottom, which in some species can be toxic.
ADDED. Another difference: predator and prey. Turtles, or some species of them at least, eat jellyfish! This explains the distressing number of turtles dying having mistaken floating polythene bags for jellyfish.

ADDED. Both animals are "squishy"! The difference is that the shellfish wraps itself in a hard shell - but it's not rock-solid.
