Malleability is how malleable an object is, for example a metal is malleable as it can be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking.

Ductility is how ductile an object is, again many metals are ductile as they can be drawn or pulled into a long strand of wire without breaking.

Malleability is the ability to be shaped as in when we pound metal into certain shapes for use. Ductility is the material's ability to deform under tensile stress.
