Woven cotton is exactly as it sounds. It is cotton that is woven and as such, has a flat 'finish' to it. Twill is made in such away that there are ridges, similar to corduroy, only usually much smaller. Also, the ridges run diagonal to the selvage, instead of parallel as it is in corduroy.
If you were to compare quilting weight cotton, which is woven, with a twill cotton suitable for apparel, the twill usually will seem a bit sturdier. When I make purses from cotton fabric, I use quilting weight for the majority of the bag, but twill for the handles and the bottom of the bag, because I feel it has better strength.

How is cotton woven into a fabric?
Well here's the beginning: the cotton is harvested and then goes through a process of cleaning, blending, and carding (and other steps) to remove debris and to orient fibers. Then the cotton is made into slivers based on a grade. Slivers are then spun using different spinning methods such as open end spinning or ring spinning and they are spun onto bobbins. From there the yarn is then woven or knitted into a fabric. There are different types of wovens such as plain weave, twill weave, rib weave, satin etc.
