Drones normally have wings, or quad (or more) rotors. Powered by batteries or gas, fly rather slowly, can loiter, can collect intelligence, and have a human in the loop for target selection. Missiles typically have zero or minimal wings, powered by a rocket or at least a turbine, fly quickly (500 mph and up), can't loiter, can't collect intelligence, and generally don't have a human in the loop after being fired. There's a little overlap, but not that much.
