4WD is a mode that you can switch on/off to send power to 4 wheels instead of the usual 2 (to get better traction at the expense of performance). There’s typically some switch or know to turn it on/off.

AWD is a feature that automatically kicks in to provide power to 4 wheels when the car detects improved traction is required. The driver doesn’t need to do anything for it to work.
