Not a lot - they're more or less one and the same thing.
End Moraine can be used to describe the current moraine at the snout of an advancing glacier whereas Terminal Moraine refers more to the point(s) of furthest advance.

The terminal moraine is the sediment deposition furthest from the source of the glacier. It is also known as an end moraine, however depending on recession or advancement of the glacier, the end moraine is not always the terminal moraine. Lateral moraines are lines of sediment deposited along the outer walls or boundaries of a glacier and can run from the top of the glacier down to its end.

RE:
Whats the difference between terminal moraines and an end moraine?

The old professor says: They both are pretty much the same...marking the furthest advance of a glacier. Different folks like to use different terms for the same phenomenon. Some glacier experts use the "end" moraine as the current pile of rubble at the leading edge of the glacier. The ones formed between the terminal/end moraines and the present glacier front are called "recessional" moraines and form as climate changes prohibit a glacier from advancing as far as it previously could.

A terminal moraine is debris left at the extreme edge of a glacier. An end moraine is probably the same thing.
