A theme is how it plays out (what does the story mean?)
A moral is how it ends up (what have we learned from this story?).

"a theme is a broad idea in a story, or a message conveyed by a work"
"moral is a message conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event"
These seem very similar to me. I don't think there is much of a difference, although typically a theme is implied - it is not specifically stated. A moral is often clearly stated (not always); usually in the conclusion. Just my opinion.

a theme is the general idea being made throughout the story... the moral is the lesson

theme is like the main idea and moral the core idea or truth that the story expresses
