MWD is measurement while drilling. It records values like direction, inclination, toolface etc, which all are values needed to achieve a successful drilling.

LWD is logging while drilling. It records logs (which generally are run by wireline, after drilling). Most common being gamma and resistivity logs. It gives us real time log data which helps to geosteer.

In BHA, the arrangement is like... [ BIT - RSS* - MWD* - LWD* ] (* - optional)
