Dinosaurs are different from lizards in many ways. First off, dinosaurs walk with their legs underneath them, like an elephant or horse. Dinosaurs are also considerably larger than most lizards, but lizards and crocodiles have much larger relatives that lived during the time of the dinosaurs, even finding some dinosaurs as a food source! Lizards are cold blooded, while dinosaurs are considered to be warm blooded.

They belong to different (though related) phylogenetic clades. The most obvious differences are that dinosaurs were ancestrally bipedal (they walked on two legs), although some later became quadrupedal (walking on four legs). All lizards are quadrupedal ancestrally, though some can move on two legs for a short while. Other differences are metabolism - all lizards are cold blooded, while at least some dinosaurs certainly were (and are, since birds are dinosaurs) warm blooded. There are plenty of other differences, but these are the most glaring.
