Error is the difference between the true value of the measurand and the measured value.. Uncertainty characterizes the range of values within which the true value is asserted to lie with some level of confidence.

If that doesn’t help here’s the definition of both the terms,

Error:

A mistake

Uncertainty:

the state of being uncertain.
