If we talk about malleability and ductility both are connected or related. A malleable material is one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering or rolling. In other words, the material has the ability to deform under compressive stress. And here ductility is the ability of the solid material to deform under tensile stress. Practically, a ductile material is a material that can easily be stretched into a wire when pulled.

Malleability is a related to ductility,
Malleability is a property, which thin sheet can be formed by hammering and rolling very easily.
When ductility is ability to deform of material when tensile force is applied to that material.

Ductile property or ductility means that the material can be stretched and pulled to a thinner cross-section without breakage. Also, good ductility means the material can be stretched enough to make a wire of it.
Malleable property or malleability means that the material can be pressed or beaten enough to flatten it into a sheet without breakage.
