They are entirely different criteria and a celestial body could actually be both.
A moon is any body that orbits a planet or dwarf planet. (Some authors include bodies that orbit asteroids below darf planet size as well)
A trojan is a body that moves on the same orbit as a larger body, either 60 degrees ahead or behind the other one. These points are stable - small disturbances of such orbits will correct themselves.
A trojan can also be a moon, if it (as well as a larger moon) orbit a planet.
