A foxhole is just a quick hole dug in the ground that offers minimal protection from enemy fire and shrapnel - usually dug very quickly in battlefield situations where time is not on your side, and generally only accommodating one or a few men. It was also common for shell holes to be used as foxholes during the First World War, since the massive volume of artillery fire made very many craters in the otherwise flat French countryside.
A Trench on the other hand, is an intricately planned defensive fortification, usually stretching on a line or a front, made to resist shell fire and offer good protection to entrenched troops. They were often deep enough to stand in, and many were built with living quarters, bomb proof bunkers, machine guns pits to withstand large enemy attacks.
